facts and consequences

fact:
60,000,000 people aborted since 1973 in the US alone.
assume 50% were girls and 50% were boys.
30,000,000 missing girls.
30,000,000 missing boys.
divide the 60,000,000 into thirds = 1/3 for every decade since 1973 = 20,000,000 people missing for each decade.
following this (crude) logic, there are 20,000,000 people missing from my generation alone: 10,000,000 women and 10,000,000 men from the ages of 25-35 years old.
20,000,000 people = the July 2012 population for New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, and Phoenix combined. *
Imagine if these six cities just disappeared one day? Imagine the economic devastation alone.
And remember - that's just 1/3 of the total missing population.
  
consequences
shortage in today's US workforce
an aging population
lack of a robust economic platform to care for the aging population
what technology innovation have we lost?
what medical breakthroughs have we missed out on?
what energy innovation breakthroughs have we missed?
as a single, i look around and there just seems to be a shortage of good men - is this yet another consequence?

and this, folks, is just the economic side of things. just the tip of the iceberg. how about the physical, emotional and spiritual consequences?
