Perhaps this train of thought has been posted elsewhere; but it does indeed make sense. And explains nicely the conservative trending on campuses. Even the sons and daughters of Democrats who were optioned alive are likely to be affected ... to the benefit of the good guys.

[Concentrate]

You are breaking a new taboo by even talking about the missing people. The new FR posters will not allow it. I give up. Good luck!

[capt. norm]

This nearly parallels the saying (here on FR) "The Liberals eat their young". Just strike 'eat' and replace it with 'kill'.

[gobucks]

Thought you folks might be interested in this, thus a ping to you.

Overlooks the different rates of birth among the various populations too.

[Enterprise]

This issue has been discussed here before. The thinking is that it is entirely possible that the sheer numbers of abortions have affected voting patterns, immigration numbers, and the labor market in general. Some of us have wondered also if it is possible that the liberals have, essentially, aborted their voting base. But will the Democrats abandon their pro-infanticide positions? I think that will happen only if Satan is feeling a sudden chill. Although, considering how much the RATS worship power, if it would help them to regain it if they abandoned their pro-choice stance, it just could happen!

The rats can overcome this phenomena of 'aborting their base' by just creating more than they are losing: giveaways to the "undocumented", use of the dead vote, etc.

[LWalk18]

If more abortions equalled a lower birth rate, then whites and asians should have a high birth rate than hispanics and especially blacks, yet this is not the case.

[jrushing]

If a female has a right to decide (choice) what happens to her body,
how can females be aborted without a choice (to decide)?

Then only males should be aborted!

[JZoback]

Immigration policies in the last ten years have effected the political demography much more than the last 30 years of legalized abortions and will continue to do so.

BTW, Democrats will change their platform on abortions as soon as ( swimmer )Ted Kennedy stops drinking booze.

There is a better chance that the moon will turn to cheese.

[AZLiberty]

Abortion is evolution's way of limiting the number of people who believe in abortion.

It might also be because our current culture is more tolerant of deviant behavior.

Suppose there is some genetic component to deviant behavior (such as homosexuality). Such deviant behaviors tend to decrease reproductivity.

In a relatively closed society where people are discouraged from "coming out", deviants are more likely to toe the line, get married and breed more deviants.

However, in a more open society, deviants are likely to live an openly deviant lifestyle and tend to have fewer children.

So an open society which may at first tend to increase the visible population of deviants, may in time tend to decrease the actual population of deviants, as only the average Joe's and Josephine's are having babies.

The girls may be going wild now while the queer guys have their eyes out for the straight guys, but ultimately Ozzie and Harriet will be replacing their a**es with a new generation of College Republicans!

[Cicero]

There is certainly a trend toward pro-life thinking among college students, in spite of the fact that probably 90% of their professors are pro-abort.

One important young pro-life group call themselves Survivors, because half of their age group has been aborted by their parents.

I don't think Karl Rove has woken up yet to the extent of this sea change, but in fact it was evident in the 2000 elections. NONE of the candidates supported by NARAL and Emily's List managed to get elected. And Bill Simon would have won in California if Rove hadn't pulled the rug out from under him. Yes, I know he made some mistakes, but he was stabbed in the back by Rove and Parsky, and never got any of the campaign funding that should have been coming to him.

[claptrap]

Isnt it rather obvious that abortion at any point is murder?
Or at least the ultimate act of selfishness? I find it hard
to take seriously pro-choice sentiment. The assumption that
pro-choicers have aborted their future base of support assumes how non-existent voters might vote. The premise of
the article on its face is absurd, yet if it means that we have actual conservatives in the whitehouse and congress from now on I'm all for it!

[votelife]

Good article; though I'm not sure if's it's true to the extent the author seems to think it. For instance, I've heard that Christians get divorced as much as non Christians, pretty much...


action alert: FReepers need to understand the importance of the Supreme Court. The justices are getting OLD. The Senate is very important, and getting Bush reelected is more important.

Here's a letter I sent W last year.

Dear President Bush, With the Surpeme Court session getting ready to close, it may well be time for perhaps the most important domestic decision of your presidency: the appointment of a Supreme Court Justice(s). The main reason why I supported you in 2000 and why I wanted Daschle out of power in 02 (and 04) has to do with the courts. I want America courts to interpret law, not write law. During your presidential campaign you said Thomas and Scalia were your two model justices. Those are excellent models. The High Court needs more like them. Clarence Thomas recently said to students that the tough cases were when what he wanted to do was different from what the law said. And he goes by the law. This should be a model philosophy for our justices. Your father, President Bush lost his reelection campaign for 3 main reasosn, as far as I can see. 1. he broke the no new taxes pledge 2. David Souter 3. Clinton convinced people we were in a Bush recession (which we had already come out of by the time Clinton was getting sworn in)

I urge you to learn from all three of these: 1. on taxes, you're doing great. Awesome job on the tax cut. 2. good job so far on judicial appointments. I want to see more of a fight for Estrada, Owen, and Pickering, but I commend you on your nominations. 3. by staying engaged in the economic debate you'll serve yourself well

I have been thoroughly impressed with your handling of al Queida, Iraq, and terrorism. You have inspired confidence and have shown great leadership.

But I want to remind you that your Supreme Court pick(s) will be with us LONG after you have departed office. I urge you to avoid the tempation to find a "compromise" pick. Go for a Scalia or Thomas. Don't go for an O'Connor or Kennedy. To be specific, get someone who is pro-life. Roe v Wade is one of the worst court decisions I know of, and it's the perfect example of unrestrained judicial power.

I know the temptation will be tremendous on you to nominate a moderate. But remember who your true supporters are. I am not a important leader or politician. I am "simply" a citizen who has been an enthusiatic supporter of you. I am willing to accept compromise in many areas of government but I will watch your Court nomiantions extremely closely. What the Senate Dems are doing right now is disgusting, but as the President you have the bully pulpit to stop it. Democrats will back down if you turn up serious heat on them.

Moreover, I think public opinion is shifting towards the pro-life position. Dems will want you to nominate a moderate, but almost all will vote against you anyways. Pro-choice Repubs will likely still vote for you if you nominate a Scalia, after all, you campaigned on it. So Mr. President, I urge you to stick with your campaign statements and nominate justices who believe in judicial restraint, like Scalia and Thomas.

Happy Memorial Day and may God bless you and your family.
