In today’s Wall Street Journal and Wichita Eagle newspaper there was an article about how the United States will be short 91,500 physicians by 2020. Simply put, this is just another example of how unchecked abortions, especially since 1973, have jumped up to bite us as a country. According to Planned Parenthood’s research arm, the Alan Gutmacher Institute, over 50 millions babies have been aborted since the Roe V. Wade decision of 1973.
Considering that 98 percent of all abortions were done for reasons other then fetal abnormality or risk to the health of the mother, that means that there are still close to 50 million less people in our work force here in the United States then if abortion was not an alternative to live birth.
As our population ages we need these younger workers to be productive and contribute to our economy. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics April 01, 2011 report there are approximately 153,400,000 workers current working here in the United States. That means, according to Planned Parenthood numbers that approximately one in four people that could be in our work force were killed by abortion. To me, those numbers are staggering!
There are 661, 400 physicians and surgeons in the United States in 2008. This is according to the 2010 Statistical Abstract of the U.S. Census Bureau. This represents about 12% of all healthcare professionals and 0.6% of all employed persons in the United States. Furthermore, an American Medical Association (AMA) survey found that 35 percent of U.S. physicians are over age 55. Doing the math 65 percent of doctors are under age 55. Take the 50 million Americans killed by abortion and take that by 0.6 percent and you will see that according to statistics in the next twenty years you would see an increase of approximately 300,000 doctors with approximately have of those, 150,000 online and serving as doctors here in the United States right now.
According to the above story, “It's a shortage that, depending on which report one reads, could see the nation short 91,500 physicians by 2020.” Had it not been for abortion we could have very well had a SURPLUS of doctors! You can also carry this over to any other field or profession here in the United States.
However, due to unchecked abortion, not only does our economy suffer, but also many other fields and professions that will be hurting due to the lack of young workers. If we continue to kill off the people that we need to sustain and grow our country and our economy then how do we plan to survive?
