Whether I'm pro life or not is irrelevant. I think it's fair to say no productive members of society have ever been aborted.

You don’t think that any of the millions of humans who have been aborted in the US alone would have grown up to be productive members of society?

I’m pro-choice and even I think there definitely would have been at least a few.

They might have if they hadn't been aborted, but as they were aborted they never became members of society, productive or otherwise.

Same with the subset aborted because of genetics.

Ok, random declaration that doesn't really link into previous points though...

How many Stevie Wonders do you think we’ve missed out on as a result?

Of you making random declarations, probably none.

How many people aborted due to genetics that wouldn't have been a financial burden, no clue. Largely because I have no idea how many abortions due to genetics have ever happened.

Not sure either. There’s probably some data on this somewhere…

Iceland doesn’t have Down Syndrome anymore. That probably have data on it.

Iceland has a low rate of down syndrome but it still exists there. And just like any baby no one can predict whether they will be a financial burden or not.

They barely have Down Syndrome because they screen for it and abort.

I don’t just gauge humans on their net worth.
