Asian Americans have some of the highest levels of support for abortion rights β€” and it's driving them to vote.

Life is cheap in Africa as well as anywhere abortion is legal.

It didn’t used to be that way before Mao forced the one child policy on the Chinese.

Just a guess but, ultimately, I think Asian women care far more inflation, the economy and high crime rates than they care about abortion just like the majority of the nation.

The Indo-Caribbean “Asian” vote seems to be a small niche.

most of them are not Christians.

The American idolatry of “diversity” has flooded our nation with non-Christians who do not share our values. And they all vote as soon as they get off the boat. Open borders and diversity have brought this country to its knees.

You raise an interesting question. Why might my grandfather’s statement be true or false? He would have been referring to the nineteenth century. Most Americans and in other countries average people lived on farms...subsistence farming. Children were viewed as free labor. (We have fewer children today because children are no longer a source of money, but instead cost money.)

“On average, woman during the 19th century had seven children - and some had more than twelve. Although the exact figures will vary depending on geographic location and local culture, it’s safe to say that families of the 19th century were much larger than those of today.” (historynewsnetwork.org/article/35975)
Other articles set the number between seven and twelve.

“Fatal Years is the first systematic study of child mortality in the United States in the late nineteenth century. Exploiting newly discovered data from the 1900 Census of Population, Samuel Preston and Michael Haines present their findings in a volume that is not only a pioneering work of demography but also an accessible and moving historical narrative. Despite having a rich, well-fed, and highly literate population, the United States had exceptionally high child-mortality levels during this period: nearly one out of every five children died before the age of five.” (Fatal Years - Child Mortality in Late Nineteenth Century America Hardcover )

If I recall the rest of the conversation, as a parent you didn’t want to be emotionally invested in a child if you’d already buried a couple of them, like during an outbreak of Yellow Fever, for example. Also, I suspect they viewed them differently. Probably around 1890 my father’s mother was literally sold by her father after her mother died. This was to a farmer in Sweden. My father and his family emigrated to the US in 1925. My grandmother lived in the farmer’s barn and took care of the animals. Definitely, things were different in the nineteenth century.

“I’m guessing they don’t like four-dollar gas and high taxes any more than the rest of us. “

Not to mention them being discriminated against in higher education and rhe rising black on Asian crime rates.

These issues are much more important to them than abortion since they still can get one, especially in states where most of them live.

All well and good, but it does not address the complete lack of documentation and really the lack of even anecdotal evidence to support your ludicrous claim that most children weren’t even named until they became adults.

I apologize. It was not your ludicrous claim, it was your grandfather’s ludicrous claim.

I know of a case where the only reason a boy was officially named when he was 6 was that the school board insisted on it. This wasn’t in Hooten Hollow either but Washington DC in 1930.
