Dennis M. Howard is a veteran Catholic journalist turned creative marketing consultant who founded The Movement for a Better America, a non-profit pro-life communications think tank in 1996 with the encouragement of the late John Joseph Cardinal O'Connor.
Dennis began researching the economic of abortion in 1992 when the abortion toll had reached 32 million and he calculated that the demographic impact was like destroying our 27 largest cities in a nuclear war. That toll is now approaching 50 million, and is compounded by the impact of more efficient contraception. Both affect the supply-demand equation on which economics depends.
In an exchange in Barron's in 1997, he was one of the first to predict the imminent collapse of the stock market bubble which occurred 3 years later. He currently predicts serious muting of the current recovery as the Baby Boom generation begins to retire.
The Abortion Bomb, An MBA Special Report by Dennis M. Howard, connects the current economic malaise and the end of the secular bull market to the fundamental demographic trends that foreshadow an economic decline that threatens to be as serious as the Great Depression. He demonstrates convincingly how the current demographically-driven collapse in consumer demand parallels similar declines that led to the Depression of 1929-1938 and the Recession of 1974-1982.

Sow the Wind, Reap the Whirlwind

As a nation sows, so shall it reap.
For the last 50 years, America has been sowing its oats like a good time Charlie who thought that the law of gravity no longer applied to him. We have long boasted of being "the world's greatest superpower" and having "the world's greatest economy," but these days such puffery has an empty ring.
There are so many potential disasters on the horizon that our confidence has been shaken like nothing since the Crash of 1929. We are reaping the whirlwind -- morally, spiritually, economically and politically.
Are our troubles as yet on a par with Old Testament catastrophes like Sodom and Gomorrah, the Deluge, or the ten plagues of Egypt? Perhaps not, but we're getting close.
The Egyptians dealt with rivers turning to blood . . . with frogs, gnats, flies, anthrax, boils, hail, locusts, darkness, and the death of their firstborn. We've managed to skip the frogs, gnats and flies, but today's slaughter of the unborn surpasses anything in ancient Egypt.
We've had 9/11, wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, earthquakes, suicide bombers, pirates, illegal immigration, a worldwide financial collapse, and declining populations throughout the Western industrial world.
It's enough to make ancient Egypt seem like the "good old days."
The Egyptians were also smarter than we are. They relented and let Moses and his people go. We still haven't gotten the message. We're facing down ogres as fearsome as the seven-headed Beast of the Apocalypse sent to warn the churches . . . yet we still prefer to ignore the handwriting on the wall.
After decades of 24/7 Hollywood Ð Washington-style media brainwashing, many have succumbed to a new brand of "marshmallow Christianity" that dares to pass as the real thing. We've got leaders who thumb their noses at the most basic teachings of Christ and still dare to claim the name "Christian" without challenge. Others bearing the same name can't trash Christianity often enough.
You know corruption runs deep when even words lose their meaning. We've gone beyond "if it feels good, do it" to "if it sounds good, do it." Wordsmiths like Frank Luntz, author of "Words that Work," have built careers teaching politicians how to sweet-talk their constituencies. Success is when the public swallows the smooth-sounding lie hook, line, and sinker.
"Tolerance, diversity, and understanding" have replaced "faith, hope and charity" even on the website of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. The ancient outrage of the prophets has been drowned by media-induced mediocrity.
Jesus, by contrast, was notably intolerant. "If anyone offend one of these little ones who believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depths of the sea." (Matt. 18:6.)
Contrary to this smiley new reputation, Jesus didn't think much of pedophiles, abortionists, or Pharisees, whom He compared to whitened sepulchers full of rottenness within. And He certainly didn't wait until after Election Day to denounce them.
Meanwhile, we've had "the great election" in which more than a billion dollars was spent persuading us to elect pro-abortion politicians based, not on principle, but on hope. Only God and Obama know where all the money came from, and they're not spilling the beans to Patrick Fitzgerald.
A quarter billion smackers came in through prepaid credit cards that can't be traced, yet they came from somewhere. The abortion industry was in there big time Ð to say thanks for the $336 million in federal largesse that Planned Parenthood takes in every year . . . and to get in line for the $4.6 billion they have been promised as part of the latest "stimulus" proposal.
What other corporation gets a "recovery package" that is 9 times bigger than their total sales? Proportionately, it's more than General Motors got so far in the big automobile bailout.
How many new jobs will be created by this outpouring of generosity to the nation's abortion industry? We'd rather know how many more babies it will kill in the next generation. What can one say of a country in which killing babies is seen as a growth industry?
This demographic erosion is one of the major forces behind the erosion of our whole economy. If the 100 million kids we've dumped since 1960 were still around, total employment would be 64 million higher right now. How much more moral reengineering of this kind can we take and still survive?
The gall of the pro-abortion ideologues is beyond belief.
Planned Parenthood doesn't hesitate to use pictures of peaceful protestors to raise money to pass the deceitfully named "Freedom of Choice" Act. That's the bill that will end freedom of conscience for Americans who believe that abortion is morally wrong.
Nancy Keenan of NARAL is still using the election in her fund-raising appeals. "As this year comes to an end, I can't help but be in awe," she writes. "Thanks to the commitment of pro-choice Americans like you, we were able to elect fully pro-choice Sen. Barack Obama to the White House ... gain 20 new pro-choice seats in the House of Representatives ... and move seven Senate seats from the anti-choice column."
George Soros gave huge gobs of money through various channels, much of it untraceable, but he isn't bragging publicly about it. That's because he has probably made it all back and then some from the speculative trading for which he is famous.
The man who once nearly broke the Bank of England had to have a field day in the rise and fall of energy prices, the collapse of our banking system, and the 45% drop in the worldwide price of stocks. The folks who left their money with Bernie Madoff bet on the wrong horse.
In short the whirlwind has arrived.
Barack Obama has pledged to sign the Freedom of Choice Act Ð a bill that will go far beyond Roe v. Wade toward making America the abortion capital of the world. He has also announced plans to put trillions more on the national credit card, payable by your children and grandchildren and mine.
He's already come down firmly on the side of the continued slaughter of the unborn. Can the frogs, gnats, flies, anthrax, boils, hail, and locusts be far behind?
