Zell Miller: Abortion has shrunk our military, hurt social security, caused illegal immigration
"Zell Miller: Abortion has shrunk our military, hurt social security, caused illegal immigration.
Michael Roston
Published: Friday March 9, 2007

"Zell Miller, the former Democratic Senator from Georgia who backed President George W. Bush in 2004 and spoke at the Republican National Convention, recently told an anti-abortion gathering that the "killing" of unborn babies was the cause of many of America's woes, including its military, social security, and immigration problems.

"How could this great land of plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years?" Miller asked. "Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed.""

Miller claimed that 45 million babies have been 'killed' since the Supreme Court decision on Roe v. Wade in 1973.

"If those 45 million children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security," he asserted."

1. If it were not for abortion and abortion rights in this country, my patio
wood would not be warped the way it is on the northeast corner.

Thank God Zell Miller is finally putting the blame where it belongs!

23. We would be in massive debt form the trillions used to educate them and
would have huge ongoing costs from the additional number of prison inmates, welfare parents, etc.

Crime would be up. Rivers would run uphill. No, rivers would run red with blood.

Stars would fall from the sky.

Aaaah, we're all gonna die.

The guy is out of the spotlight for a reason. Just leave him alone out there ranting in the darkness.

4. Interesting theory.
Say, what jobs? The ones sent overseas? And The Bush twins and "P" are among the unaborted who have yet to enlist in their kinsman's little war for profit. :shrug:

Zell is stark raving mad.

21. Exactly.
:D And his madness somehow dwells in an altogether different century.

Has he been introduced to the aeroplane yet, or have his doctors decided that it would shatter the last brittle shards of his sanity?

(A great bumper sticker I bought online somewhere.)

Zell Miller is an idiot. And if we're honest, we all know he assumes the great majority of those abortions are by blacks that he would use for war fodder and cheap labor without a second thought.

Edited on Fri Mar-09-07 10:36 PM by Miss Chybil
Too few people to buy more things, to further suppress wages, to fill the air with more crap, to stuff into our prisons and to be used as cannon fodder in rich mens' wars. Zell Miller, shut up.

14. I really think they are afraid of
the social security shortfall. As a first world nation our birthrate has fallen which is a good thing environmentally.. I think they think we really need "brown people" to make up the difference to make the ponzi scheme work. It is so twisted.
Of course if we did not waste so much on military spending and concentrated on spending for the common good we would be in a much better place.

16. Just imagine.....
Zell sitting in a rocking chair in his private room at the nursing home, his eyesight nearly gone, his mind already gone and all that comes through the fog of senility are the ghosts of his past, rising to haunt him, keeping him at the edge of the abyss forevermore.............


Zell Miller is a nonentity. Keep that in mind. This coming election is pulling the rats out of the woodwork. We're seeing more and more of them every single day trying to pretend they're still worthwhile human beings. Problem is, more of the people in the real world see that the rats still aren't wearing any clothes.

25. We have fewer people because no one can afford a real family
anymore. Outsourcing has contributed to these problems a hell of a lot more than abortion. When you cannot afford to have children you tend to use contraception.

The right wing -

Before you're born they love you.

After you're born... Not so much. No health-care, no food stamps, no head start, no education, etc.

But once you reach Military Age - They LOVE you again.

30. Where does Bill Clinton figure in to this? Isn't he to blame for EVERYTHING?
What is most repellent to me is that had these 45 million children lived, most would be cannon-fodder. What twisted logic.

33. So would all of those 45 million have needed (economically) to join the military? Does that mean
Edited on Sat Mar-10-07 02:43 PM by Nikki Stone1
that it was only poor women having abortions?

The Republicans forget that their rich, country club women have had some of those 45 million abortions.

(I know, Zell is technically a Democrat. I never think of him that way.)

37. I don't think there have been that many abortions in the last 34 years
and even if there had been it's pretty stupid to think that all our woes are because of that.

44. There can't have been
2007 - 1973 = 34 years, or 12,410 days. I know this is not exactly right but it's close enough for our purposes.

45 million / 12410 = 3600 abortions per day, EVERY day.

I smell bullshit.

If anyone can prove this wrong, I'll admit it, but I highly doubt this figure.

40. There could be some truth with that
But it has more to do with birthrates, than just abortion.

He should be happy though, since abortion saves on wellfare spending, and lower crime rates.

41. Quoting Miller is like stopping to listen to street ranters
Never make eye contact, and keep moving. He might bite. And I don't think he's had all his shots.

"Too few people." What a fucking joke. So my hometown HASN'T increased in population by a factor of 5 since I was a kid? I must be imagining all these extra hundreds of thousands of people.

45. bush alone shrunk our military, and it continues to shrink everyday.
The military is shrinking because bush sent thousands to their death.

And as long as there is a volunteer army, the military will keep dwindling because enlistment is way, way down because of bush and his war.
