Aside from the physical and mental costs associated, sometimes long after, with abortion, this small, but powerful book takes a look at the economic costs of abortion.

We like to think that our sins have no cost. This well-researched work demonstrates that in addition to the damage done to our soul, there is a long-term social effect on American society.

This book is NOT designed for theological debate. It is an important work to be read by people on both sides of the issue. It confronts the cumulative economic effects impacting society.

For example, could the labor shortages nationwide be the result of the widespread availability of abortion on demand?

The author uses charts and graphs to demonstrate, for example, that using cumulative abortion figures the estimated total federal tax revenues that would have been collected by those aborted in 1991 alone would have been more than $135,073,193,50.

The author also examines abortion's costs in relation to Gross Domestic Product, Education, Lower Birth Rates,Fertility,Adoption, and Population Growth.

Roberge provides a sobering analysis of the social, economic, and demographic effects of abortion on the country. If abortion continues unabated the long-range effects will clearly be seen in labor, social security, industrial productivity, and eventually national security.
