Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum has identified a way to improve the solvency of Social Security -- stop killing the babies who could pay into the system when they grow up.


"The reason Social Security is in big trouble is we don't have enough workers to support the retirees. Well, a third of all the young people in America are not in America today because of abortion, because one in three pregnancies end in abortion," Santorum said in response to a caller's question.

The 52-year-old (and father of seven) has made several trips to New Hampshire, which historically holds the nation's first presidential primary.

His statements come as a wave of anti-abortion legislation is being debated across the nation, including in Pennsylvania, Idaho, Ohio, Texas and Kansas.

I had no idea there were that many abortions.

Are you and other religious wingnuts going to adopt and care for all those children? How about if the continuing trend of nearly half of them adding to the welfare roles continues and paying little or no taxes, how will that help things? In addition, since SS is due to bankrupt up pretty soon, how will waiting for 18+ years for more workers bail us out?
