I'm so confused... What are you trying to say abortion has to do with the stock market and flash mobs?

So we need more middle class to [color=gold] bring the abortion rate up and the stock market down?
Will there be donuts?

That only the responsible middle class people had abortions.
And now there are not enough of them left.
The backbone of American
civilization is broken.

I'm a little slow outta the gate this morning. From the above chart, where are you drawing your conclusion from?
The Guttmacher Institute, which periodically surveys U.S. abortion providers, reported Tuesday that there were 1.21 million abortions in 2008 and a rate of 19.6 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15-44.
Both figures were up slightly from the previous 2005 survey, ending a steady decline since 1990, when U.S. abortions peaked at 1.6 million and the abortion rate was 27.4
Asia, the most populous region of the world, has the largest total number of abortions (17 million legal and 10 million illegal), followed by Europe, with eight million (most of them in Eastern Europe), Africa (five million), Latin America (four million), Northern America (1.5 million) and Oceania (0.1 million). Asia accounts for 59% of the world's abortions, and Northern America only 3%.

I'm not seeing the drastic situation you are.

I'm failing to understand why it is presented as an American middle class [color=gold] only situation?

I suspect you're drawing on some information you haven't shown. Is there something more you could bring in to help us make the connection? Maybe an article you read or a video.

I'm not entirely sure it can be blamed on the abortions, however,
