Was wondering how Roe wiped out an entire generation?

It may be more a case of editorial license, by expressing 'a whole generation', however, in describing 42 million plus, killings/deaths, the editor provides a reference for the staggering total... I prefer holocaust or abomination... In the end, right, wrong or indifferent, the culture of death is a plague upon this nation, where life is cheap and means less/little to the society as a whole. Ye shall reap what ye sow.

The wheel's still in spin. Hyperbolic sub-title, though the irony will come when the culture of death continues to grow and the "quality of life" takes those that survived abortion to find themselves aborted in old age by a younger generation who believe they are doing a service to their elders.

Some pro-life critics of the pro-abortion movement and Roe frame the discussion of its ramifications on our society as "the loss of a generation". Here are but 2 of those articles, The lost generation: 31 years of Roe v Wade, and The Life of Roe.

The latter frames it well, and carries this poignant line:

"Because their lives were incomplete, those of us who escaped Roe's reach are also incomplete. We have lost something immeasurable — the dreams and hopes of an unseen, unborn generation. "

It is my belief that this assessment of Roe as the elimination of a generation is correct. I am not a statistician, so do not know the exact count of a generation of people, but having lived under Roe my whole life, I cannot help but wonder of the 40+ million unborn who were not allowed to live, what of their own future unborn children and theirs, and so on? Is this not the make-up of a generation?
