Santorum: SS in jeopardy because of abortions
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20110329/ap_on_re_us/us_santorum_nh

CONCORD, N.H. – In his latest trip to New Hampshire, Republican Rick Santorum says the Social Security system would be in much better shape if there were fewer abortions.

...snip...

He says the system has design flaws, but the reason it is in big trouble is that there aren't enough workers to support retirees. He blamed that on what he called the nation's abortion culture. He says that culture, coupled with policies that do not support families, deny America what it needs — more people.

wow...I don't even know where to start with everything that is wrong with this statement.

4. He's not that dumb. They are grabbing every lifeline they can find.
The more they link the economic failure with liberal policies, the more money and support they get from their robots. Gingrich just warned we would be an atheist Islamic state, Beck and others keep linking communism and the Nazis... they are just taking whatever scary word they can think of and using it to scare their voters into hating anything Democrats come up with.

Assholes like Santorum Fecal Lube love blaming everything on abortion.

10. What a flawed argument
Seriously. IF we want to stop fucking with the birth rate in this country--then start denying fertility treatments too.

God's will works two ways, you know.
