Reproductive Decisions

The big news over the week-end were the Sunday interviews with Nancy "Stupid" Pelosi and her thoughts on stimulating the economy. Just to refresh and maybe give a different perspective she said that we can stimulate the economy by advancing birth control. In simpler terms, "don't have babies, America". Representatives from Gerber and Pampers when informed of Speaker Pelosi's comments only shook their heads or so I'm told. There is a very large rumor floating around that someone named Guido who lives in New Jersey has been contacted about a kneecap job but that, too, cannot be verified. I then read on line from WPRI.com TV, East Providence, Rhode Island that in these tough economic times sperm and egg donations are up; way, way up. Egg donors have grown by 30% and harvested eggs go for $10,000. It doesn't say what a sperm goes for but when were dealing with millions maybe two or three cents apiece. The story did say that most people are denied.
What to do? Are these people going to go against the administration to grow the economy or be selfish and grow their own economy? Either way it seems more than immoral.
Just a thought. Since the legalizing of Roe v. Wade over 48 million children have been disposed of. Wouldn't these "little ones" have put some money into the third rail of politics, Social Security? Just asking.
