Letter to the editor: Ending abortion would benefit Social Security
Hurrah to Texas voters for eliminating abortions in their state. Hopefully more states will follow suit. Keep up the good fight!
More than 60 million babies have been killed since 1973, the year abortions became legal in the U.S. If those 60 million babies had the right to life, they would be eligible to be part of our Social Security program. We would be happy to have them, as they would eliminate the problems we will be facing in the very near future.
The average yearly wage (2019, the latest year reported), was $51,916. The average median wage for 2019 was $34,248. There is a big difference between the Social Security Administration wage and median wage data. The average numbers are bigger because high earners jack them up. The 60 million would fit in the SSA average wage. There are 46 years between 2019 and 1973. Sixty million divided by 46 equals 1,304,348 abortions per year, times the average wage of $51,916 is equal to $67,716,531 for this year’s total.
Eliminating abortions would enhance the future of Social Security!
