An Italian archbishop has said that the country’s persistent economic problems can be attributed to the abortions that have ended 6 million lives.
“The law [allowing] abortion has stopped more than six million Italians coming into the world and the shortage of children has made us fall into this economic crisis,” Archbishop Luigi Negri of Ferrara-Comacchio told a local newspaper. He argued that larger families would stimulate economic demand, while the millions of workers who were never born could have contributed to greater productivity.

Yes, children are useful, aren't they. Let's hope there is much more that is un-reported about his statement. A UN study reported not so long ago that something like 50% of Italian men between 17 and 34(?) still live with their parents - the highest percentage in Europe, perhaps except for Denmark. Italian Mothers are said to be great cooks and do a great job on the laundry. Even in Italy, these fellows are endearingly called "Mommoni" - better than 'rabbits' they think.
