Santorum blames ‘abortion culture’ for Social Security woes By Holly Bailey holly Bailey Tue Mar 29, 2:58 pm ET
In an interview with a New Hampshire radio station Tuesday, Rick Santorum suggested the nation's "abortion culture" is to blame for the Social Security program's financial problems.
Per The Hill's Shane D'Aprile, the former Pennsylvania senator and 2012 presidential hopeful told WEZS Radio that not enough children are being born to support the troubled entitlement system in part because of the rising number of abortions.
"The Social Security system, in my opinion, is a flawed design, period. But having said that, the design would work a lot better if we had stable demographic trends," Santorum said. "We don't have enough workers to support the retirees . . . . A third of the young people in America are not in America today because of abortion."
Santorum was responding to a caller, who suggested abortion was behind the nation's troubled Social Security and Medicare infrastructure. Per The Hill, the former senator said the caller was "absolutely right."
"We have seven children, so we're doing our part to fund the Social Security system," Santorum added.
His comments come as Santorum attempts to attract attention to his longshot 2012 presidential bid. As The Ticket recently noted, Santorum's media strategy seems to be based on two things: trashing Mitt Romney and making provocative comments. In January, Santorum came under fire when he suggested President Obama should be against abortion because he's black.

Although I doubt his "a third" statistic is correct, everything else he says is true. Social security is a flawed design. Unstable demographic trends exasperated the problem of maintaining social security. We do not have enough workers paying into social security to support the retirees pulling from social security. We would have more workers if people did not get abortions. 
I don't know why you think it is so funny. You should be annoyed at the author of the article for distilling the above down to "Rick Santorum suggested the nation's "abortion culture" is to blame for the Social Security program's financial problems." Obviously, the author is being disingenuous as Santorum clearly stated, "The Social Security system, in my opinion, is a flawed design, period." A flawed design is a flawed design... abortion is certainly a factor that plays into the flawed design social security (though a very, very small one).

Your "commentary or discussion" really made me think.
Awesome job!
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers
