A new study has concluded that, while largely ignored by the scientific community, abortion is undoubtedly the most consequential issue determining the socioeconomic and demographic composition of the United States.

The study, conducted by Dr. James Studnicki, professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of North Carolina, and colleagues Sharon J. MacKinnon and John W. Fisher, utilized data from the 2008 national summary of pregnancy outcomes, which indicated that 64.6% of all pregnancies ended in a live birth, while 18.4% ended in abortion. According to the national report, the overall pregnancy rate for non-Hispanic black women (144.3 per 1000) was 65% higher than the rate for non-Hispanic white women (87.5 per 1000). In addition, black women have an average of more pregnancies in a lifetime (4.3) than white women (2.7). In 2008, while 69% of white pregnancies resulted in a live birth, only 49% of black pregnancies led to live births. The abortion rate for white women was 12.4%, and the rate for black women was nearly three times higher, at 35.6%. Thus, despite a higher pregnancy rate than whites, black pregnancies are much less likely to result in a live birth, largely because of their dramatically higher abortion rate.

Abortion has destroyed generations of Americans and decimated the ethnic and racial composition of our country. Sometimes when I see a school or a college or even a large crowd, I try to imagine how much more beautiful these places would be if tens of millions had not been murdered by their mothers.

Somehow it has fallen to Republicans to try and keep Democrats from killing their own.

Somehow it has fallen to Republicans to try and keep Democrats from killing their own. Hmmmm...maybe we should handle it differently. If you're anything but a registered Republican, you can have unlimited abortions on demand in exchange for foregoing all other government benefits. The general result would be that liberals would not breed while conservative behavior would be passed down through generations.
Of course, there's still that pesky moral issue that abortion is an abomination.

The moral issue is huge but so is the genocide issue.

Unfortunately Democrats reproduce in public education, universities, and union brainwashing.
