Texas becomes latest state to halt abortion services amid coronavirus outbreak

The Texas Attorney General's office just ordered all clinics that provide abortion to immediately stop providing the procedure in order to comply with the state's temporary suspension of surgeries that are not deemed "medically necessary," according to a statement from the office shared with CBS News. Texas is the latest state to halt abortion services amid the COVID-19 outbreak.

10,000 additional births adds over $3Billion in tax demands spread over 18 years.

Each and every year, just adding 10,000 additional births will increase the tax load by that much more.

The second year, you'll have 20,000 children that will be added to the system. the third yea will be 30,000, etc.

Enjoy your state bankruptcy.
