Will Outlawing Abortion Help Democrats More than Republicans?

Posted on 06/22/2012 7:51:15 AM PDT by pinochet

I often hear that minorities abort their babies at higher rates than whites. It is interesting that Democrats support the aborting of people who vote for them. If Republicans pro-lifers have their way, they will be contributing to the increase of Democratic party voters. Life can be ironic, at times.


TOPICS: Culture/Society; Philosophy; Your Opinion/Questions
KEYWORDS: abortion; democrats; republicans; rkselection; vanity
Of course, I oppose abortion, which is the official position here at Free Republic. Someone needs to do a good job at telling minorities that Democrats do not care for them.

It will help babies the most. I don’t give a rat’s a$$ if it helps Democrats or Republicans.

Abortion, not slavery or Jim Crow, is the most shameful chapter of America’s history. I can’t think of anything that grieves the heart of God more than to see precious babies sacrificed on the fiery arms of “Choice.” My wife and I know three woman who had abortions. In each case, we offered to adopt the baby, where he or she would be raised in a secure, loving home. All three babies were aborted. Saving innocent lives transcends political strategy.

Over time it probably would.It’s the leftists of this nation who are killing their children in the womb (and outside of it as well).

The left knows this. That is why they recruit more leftists in the schools, and import them at the border.

Without a HUGE conversion of heart throughout this country, abortion will never be completely outlawed. The best we can do, at this point, is to get restrictions on the procedure in as many states as possible.

The politics of it does matter because more democrats in power means more expansion of abortion, thus more dead babies.

I believe that legalized abortion actually creates more democrats since it creates a lack of responsibility, lack of accountability to a creator, and a disrespect for women and life- all traits that democrat politicians so desperately hope to find among the registered voters.

I would be almost willing to guess that based on the amount of fatherless kids in the lower income community that on a per capita basis that women with money tend to have abortions more than women without. A kind of, "we don't want to have to give up the BMW." versus" We get more money from the government."

If that is correct we are aborting potential Republicans. Just because a woman has an abortion does not mean that she is a liberal Democrat. I am sure that woman who consider themselves "Republican" and "conservative" do not consider abortion to be a political issue, but a private issue.

No, from working at a crisis pregnancy center for three years, let me tell you that I had

-one-

married woman abort her child, that I know of.

Every last one of the other women/girls were unmarried.

Marriage is a huge factor.

Maybe I am okay with what you said. I have two questions .. [i] I never mentioned marriage. Is it possible that a woman who has an affair and gets pregnant comes in and says she is signal to have an abortion because it is not her husband's? And she subsequently says she is single. And, [ii] are some of these "unmarried" women doctors, lawyers, teachers, etc? Just because she is single does not mean that she is of no means. Although you did say a crisis center which may lend to the type of cases that you see. i am not saying that I know the answer.

Who cares? If we manage to end abortion, we’ve done a great thing.

I can only give my personal experience.

Marriage was the biggest obvious factor.

The married woman who did abort did an international business and her charming husband did not want to be bothered with the difficulty of traveling with a baby.

Of course, we take people at face value - in other words, we believe them when they say they are married or whatever.

Even among the unmarried women, most would keep the baby if the father wanted them too.

In short the father is of primary importance.

Sadly, I saw a few cases where the dad wanted the baby but mom did not. Sometimes, the dads never even knew they got someone pregnant. A warning to the men out there - you get a woman pregnant, she can do whatever she wants, and you have no legal options to protect your child’s life. I have seen some devastated men.

ONLY a pregnant woman has a choice, and that choice is only what to do with the life of her baby. Every other thing will be “chosen” by government.

Maybe more Democrats will be born, but when they grow up and allow abortion again, they will kill all their babies, again, and Republicans will gain in percent. Rinse and repeat.
