She's just a race baiter and her comments have nothing to do with a supposed labor shortage of which this topic is about. The topic is only related to having a labor shortage because of so many abortions by Americans (regardless of their race).

Why are you focusing on race? Where did I say anything about race except to reply to your race based comments? Why do you keep going on about ethnic foods or languages spoken? This topic is about a supposed labor shortage!

It is a known fact though that there are far more minorities on welfare percentage wise to their population numbers and it's a known fact that minorites mostly vote Democrat. Where the hell are you going with this and please stay on topic which is about a supposed labor shortage. Geezus!
the race stuff is garbage, but unwanted babies not properly raised, most of whom would grow up with one parent on average are far less likely to grow up successful and far more likely to suck up goverment resources than wanted children raised by 2 parents. I wish it were different, but it's a cold world and that's the reality.
But we live in a society where people want to totally ignore problems caused by bad parenting and play the race card every chance they get which is completely counterproductive.

If any women were stranded on a desert island, pregnancy is the last thing she would want.

Find another example why you think women should be forced to breed.

Yep. 63 million human lives were terminated prior to exiting the birth canal since Roe v Wade. 63 million, the vast majority being for simple birth control reasons. Imagine how good the labor market would be if we had those beautiful lives here today.

Even China is now realizing how devastating it is to their economy when they terminated so many human lives prior to exiting the birth canal.

In order for the system to continue to support itself, it needs new lives coming to be, not fewer.
Capitalism just needs more workers to exploit. Right?

There is a demand for adoption of newborn babies if the mother doesn't want them. As I said, even in normal families kids don't always turn out to be good.

I don't know what race has to do with this topic anyway. The topic is about a supposed labor shortage.

You should be grateful that you only know financially well off people in your work and social circle. Many are not so lucky. Some of them have abortions too.

Women aren't forced to breed. If they don't want to breed then they should use birth control "or" abstain from sex. It's really that simple.

Now let's get back to the topic at hand, shall we?

The reality is that people today just want fewer children than prior generations. Society will need to adapt to the decline of population from generation to generation.
Population decline is a good thing...the planet has too many people on it already...it was meant to support far less than what there is now.

If a woman is poor financially isn't that even more reason for her to protect herself from a pregnancy? Now about that supposed labor shortage..........

Really, a demand for drug-addicted babies and babies with genetic problems? Have you looked into the state of foster care?
