The Financial Cost of abortion
I went for coffee with a friend one morning and during the conversation she said, “You’re just a one issue person.” So I said, well let’s put aside that poor defenseless child is torn limb from limb and while we’re at it, let’s put aside the woman who gets to live with the regret of what she has done, once it hits her, and I promise you it does. Let’s put all those issues on a shelf for a bit. Let’s look at the economics of abortion and what it has cost us as a nation.
Below are the statistics of the money side of abortion and this doesn’t even cover the $60 billion we give to Planned Parenthood.
What the average taxpayer pays in taxes annually
Based on these and other figures, the Tax Foundation derives an “average” tax rate of 15.57% for the top 50%, just 3.73% for the bottom 50%, and an average of 14.20% overall. Source: The Balance
The average salary in Albuquerque, NM is $16.81 which translates into $34964 annually. At 14.2% this taxpayer would pay $4695 per year. Over the course of their working life of say 30 years that translates into $140,850. This is just one person and is very low because the national average income is $56,516. For the nation it translates into $8025 per year and a working lifetime of 30 years would be $240,758.
We have aborted over 60 million children/future taxpayers and the loss financially hovers around $8,451,000,000,000.00 for the New Mexico average to $14,445,480,000,000.00.That’s right 8 to 14.45 trillion tax dollars lying in the hazardous waste dump sights of our nation.
The national debt right now is 31 trillion. We have aborted half of our capacity to pay our national debt.
And I’m just a single issue person? I’m not a single issue person; I’m the primary issue person. This one issue permeates our entire culture.

What does the Bible say about abortion? Simply put, abortion is murder. It is the killing of a human being created in the image of God.
