That could all be true, although it is arbitrary at best. What we do know though, is that the only way to stimulate economic growth during stagnate periods is with population expansion.
But, your response would be typical to the opinion of many American citizens when the massive waves of immigrants were coming ashore in the late 19th early 20th century. You know, the tired, poor, and sick
The tired, the poor, the sick were here to advance their futures with determination and hard work. They weren't subject to abortion so I am not sure how you draw the parallel there.
I also don't understand how you think that a dependent, damaged undesirable born to a crack addicted mother, neglectful father, and with a host of illnesses relating to it's birth that will burden the state with high costs of medical treatment will stimulate the economy. I'm also not sure how a 4th or 5th baby born to an unwed mother who will become an 18 year recipient of state assistance is supposed to stimulate the economy. I'm also not sure how the child born to the mother who didn't want her and ends up a ward of the state is supposed to stimulate the economy. :shrug:
