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

Do they have a map. Sometimes graphics are more influential than words.

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

Road apples!

Fascinating

This article will require further thought

is an unmistakable statistic

Abortion on demand: Social Darwinism at its finest. One full generation, and a part of a second, are now missing in those families whose culture was permissive about abortion.

The part of the society that was permissive about abortion was also strongly inclined to be "progressive" (read liberal) in many other facets of life as well. This includes, but is not limited to, "environmentalism" with its emphasis on keeping the Earth as some pristine, pure Paradise it never was, "anti-war" when the war was being waged against socialism or socialistic ideologies (how this came to include militant Islamists I cannot determine), and entitlements for whole segments of the population, regardless of the resources or perceived need.

Chickens have come home to roost, in a most ruthless and unforgiving manner.

Yep it's all right in front of you...in BLACK and WHITE...or should I say Caucasian?

"Blue" whites are disappearing fast, between sodomy and abortion.

Buh-bye!

Ping for life! Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD. Babies are GOOD.

Am I the only one a bit disturbed that this article starts out as an interesting statistical analysis of birthrates by state and then seems to turn into a xenophobic, race-obsessed doomsday prediction? Consider the source here, people; the American Conservative is not what it seems, nor what it once was. If memory serves, they endorsed Kerry.

[Jim Noble]

White liberals, angered by white conservatives’ lack of racial solidarity with them, yet bereft of any vocabulary for expressing such a verboten concept, pretend that they need gun control to protect them from gun-crazy rural rednecks

Bing-bing-bing-bing!

We have a winner!

... 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.

[P.O.E.]

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

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

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.....
