THE ROE EFFECT
The Empty Cradle Will Rock How abortion is costing the Democrats voters--literally. BY LARRY L. EASTLAND Monday, June 28, 2004 12:01 a.m. EDT
More than 40 million legal abortions have been performed and documented in the 30 years since the U.S. Supreme Court declared abortion legal. The debate remains focused on the legality and morality of abortion. What's largely ignored is a factual analysis of the political consequences of 40 million abortions. Consider:
There were 12,274,368 in the Voting Age Population of 205,815,000 missing from the 2000 presidential election, because of abortions from 1973-82.
In this year's election, there will be 18,336,576 in the Voting Age Population missing because of abortions between 1972 and 1986.
In the 2008 election, 24,408,960 in the Voting Age Population will be missing because of abortions between 1973-90.
These numbers will not change. They are based on individual choices made--aggregated nationally--as long as 30 years ago. Look inside these numbers at where the political impact is felt most. Do Democrats realize that millions of Missing Voters--due to the abortion policies they advocate--gave George W. Bush the margin of victory in 2000?

And my own idea is this:
me either but the article does have some valid points.
i know black abortions have been documented on the rise after welfare reform.
again about as phyrric as one could imagine
Thanks for the ping!
My Kung Fu master always says that virtue is its own reward and vice is its own punishment. And the self-extincting baby-killers are proving him right.
Well... sickness is as sickness does.
No, but it might be God's way of bringing good out of evil.
Cordially
"Why suppose that the aborted babies would have grown up to be Democrats?"
This article is too politically sensitive to underscore the most compelling aspect of the argument. Abortions are disproportionately Black.
Blacks vote about 90% democrat. This is the REAL underlying dynamic, not just generically "liberal" or "conservative," because Black babies aborted over the period from Roe onward would indeed have grown up to vote democrat, overwhelmingly, by the millions.
Incidentally, in pushing abortions, there is no doubt that the democrats fully understood they were thinning the crop of Black babies. After all, democrats don't like poor people much, (you know how they get in the way) and lots of poor people are black.
I just don't think they projected ahead to the effects twenty years down the road for their political machinations. Democrat racism has come back to haunt them. Ain't it the most poetic justice.
