Is abortion our nation's undoing?

I recently read an article in the Herald stating that according to the 2010 census, the only increase in the number of young people was in the Hispanic population. I understood it to say that the number of young people in other populations had actually decreased in the last 10 years.

Does the fact that American citizens are quietly murdering inconvenient children before they're born account for this disturbing decrease in numbers of young people? What have we done? What are we doing?

Is there a connection between this statistic and the fact that we now face the threat of terrorism on our own soil after many years of miraculous protection? Is the sudden collapse of our economy and our status as a world power more than an economic or political issue? Are we suffering the consequences of our moral bankruptcy?

Does it make you wonder?
