A. Roe v. Wade
With the overturning of “Roe v. Wade” in the United States, the discourse concerning abortion has reached a feverish pace with some of the comments bordering on total insanity. For example, I never expected that the former head of the Federal Reserve and current U.S. Treasury Secretary, Janet Yellen, would in testimony to the U.S. Senate, say that restricting abortion would negatively affect the US economy. What? How can the killing of unborn children and the reduction in the birth rate, which is one of the leading causes behind our demographic collapse, lead to greater economic prosperity?
