From an analytical standpoint, it's interesting what abortion has done to the demographics. I'm not sure of the numbers, but it's around 40 million of them since Roe.

Black women get abortions at a rate about four times that of whites.

I've never seen a breakdown by political affiliation, but I'd guess abortions by Republican women make up about 5% or less of the total. Probably the majority of them come from politically non-active women.

But 40 million is huge. That's bigger than the population of all of California.

Today's political, racial, and demographic picture would look a lot different if these abortions had not been performed.

Before I'm misunderstood, I'm in no way suggesting that these abortions were a good thing. Unwanted births should be prevented before conception.

I'm commenting on the fact that abortion has greatly changed our country in ways that some people may not have considered.

"I'd guess abortions by Republican women make up about 5% or less of the total."

That may be more "wishful thinking" than "guessing".

I agree.

Spiritually, look at how we've fallen into the depths. We now are talking about the killing of seniors when their "quality of life" has declined. We accept sexual promiscuity as a norm. We are even "normalizing" deviant sexual partnerships.

Economically, we have killed an entire tax base and labor pool. I am not an actuary, but if these babies were in the work place I don't think we would be looking at the social security crisis that exists. Also, the magnet of jobs drawing illegal immigration wouldn't exist because we would have the pool of workers here.
