Good Anaylsis: "Baby Gap: How birthrates color the electoral map"

... Manhattan liberals all believe in celebrating diversity in theory but typically draw the line at subjecting their own offspring to it in the public schools...

Very interesting points. And the Republicans are called the racists and bigots.

President Bush discarded his old “humble” foreign policy for a new one of nearly Alexandrine ambitions.

Road apples!

Not to mention this unbiased little blurb:

That the president launched a war under false pretenses no doubt caused a few highly-informed constituencies.

No lib agenda from this writer ... nope, not even a little bit of one.

Indeed, but what can we expect from a film critic?

aborted democrats should be factored into the equation:

The Empty Cradle Will Rock
How abortion is costing the Democrats voters--literally.

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?

The number of abortions accumulate in size and political impact as the years roll along. Like an avalanche that picks up speed, mass, and power as it thunders down a mountain, the number of Missing Voters from abortion changes the landscape of politics. The absence of the missing voters may not be noticed, but that doesn't mean its political impact disappears. As seen during a famine, what no longer exists becomes as relevant as what does.

[P.O.E.]

Missing voters and also missing contributors to the socialist's beloved entitlement programs.

[trebb]

The reps can be glad for abortion and birth control. It just may put them in power for decades.

Please, don't give the Left any ammo. While they may hope for the worst in order to gain power, I would hope most of us on the Right (what an apropos term!) would not "be grateful" for atrocities.

I’ll focus primarily on Caucasians.....

-----------------------

Thereby rendering this anaslysis useless, no Latinos, no Black, no Asian, no South Asians included. Who do they think is having the babies in the Urban states?

[Mo1]

pro-life Kansas has the fourth-highest white fertility in the country at 2.06 babies per woman, and the birthrate of the conservative Republicans that Frank finds so baffling is likely to be even higher. On the crucial question of whether a group can be bothered not to die out, “What’s the Matter with Massachusetts?” would be a more pertinent question. Massachusetts’s whites are failing to replace themselves, averaging only 1.6 babies per woman, and the state’s liberal Democrats are probably reproducing even less than that.

It's a a tad hard to reproduce children when in a Gay Marriage

[reg45]

Yes, how many potential democratic voters have been aborted over the past 20-30 years?

As Carl Sagan might say "billions and billions".

[AMDG&BVMH]

super map! the colors hardly change when you go from fertility to voting, except that the fertile states become even brighter red for voting.

Yes, this confirms what many of us have been thinking for years. A number of families in my daughter's school and in our parish and home-schoolers we know have a lot more than 2.2 kids: 7, 8 are not unheard of. Just like the good old days! ;)

[AMDG&BVMH]

Bump! aborted voter statistics

If I had gone to a Kerry FReep, I wanted a sign that said "Kerry, some of your voters are missing! 1973-1982 ROE V WADE" or "some of your voters were aborted" or something even cleverer. Glad to know someone has compiled the statistics, so we can use them in the next election cycle!

AAAAAHHHHHHH, it's all hopeless! :D

[exnavychick]

My thoughts exactly. However, what about those lib voters who constantly reproduce to take advantage of those same entitlement programs? Now THAT'S scary. I will shortly have five children, but I don't expect the state to help me pay for their upbringing. Money is tight from time to time, but that's why Mr. Ex and I have priorities. We straightened them out as soon as we were "surprised" by the appearance of our oldest.

A lot of those entitlements (medicaid, food stamps, AFDC) are exploited by those who continue to have children they can't support. Those children will continue the cycle, thus creating more lib voters to keep saying "yea" to those programs.

[Raycpa]

Families with a lot of children tend to be less self centered/selfish than familes with little or no children.

[Coleus]

Still, this doesn’t mean voters are choosing red or blue frivolously. Indeed, voters are picking their parties based on differing approaches to the most fundamentally important human activity: having babies. The white people in Republican-voting regions consistently have more children than the white people in Democratic-voting regions. The more kids whites have, the more pro-Bush they get.

[Coleus]

Likewise, liberals in blue areas such as Northern California pioneer environmental restrictions on development in part to keep out illegal immigrants and other poor minorities.....
