Democrats aborting votes with this...

This is very interesting...

The Empty Cradle Will Rock
How abortion is costing the Democrats voters--literally
Opinion Journal - Jun. 28, 2004

More than 40 million legal abortions have been performed and documented in the 30 years since the U.S. Supreme Court declared abortion legal. The debate remains focused on the legality and morality of abortion. What's largely ignored is a factual analysis of the political consequences of 40 million abortions. Consider:

• There were 12,274,368 in the Voting Age Population of 205,815,000 missing from the 2000 presidential election, because of abortions from 1973-82.

• In this year's election, there will be 18,336,576 in the Voting Age Population missing because of abortions between 1972 and 1986.

• In the 2008 election, 24,408,960 in the Voting Age Population will be missing because of abortions between 1973-90.

These numbers will not change. They are based on individual choices made--aggregated nationally--as long as 30 years ago. Look inside these numbers at where the political impact is felt most. Do Democrats realize that millions of Missing Voters--due to the abortion policies they advocate--gave George W. Bush the margin of victory in 2000?

The number of abortions accumulate in size and political impact as the years roll along. Like an avalanche that picks up speed, mass, and power as it thunders down a mountain, the number of Missing Voters from abortion changes the landscape of politics. The absence of the missing voters may not be noticed, but that doesn't mean its political impact disappears. As seen during a famine, what no longer exists becomes as relevant as what does. [...]

Check the stats on this...

Abortion has caused missing Democrats--and missing liberals. For advocates so fundamentally committed to changing the face of conservative America, liberals have been remarkably blind to the fact that every day the abortions they advocate dramatically decrease their power to do so. Imagine the number of followers that their abortion policies eliminate who, over the next several decades, would have emerged as the new liberal thinkers, voters, adherents, fund-raisers and workers for their cause. [...]

The irony of this...

Liberal Democrats are having both more abortions--and more abortions as a percentage of their ideological and political group--than either of the other groupings.

As liberals and Democrats fervently seek new voters and supporters through events, fund-raisers, direct mail and every other form of communication available, they achieve results minuscule in comparison to the loss of voters they suffer from their own abortion policies. It is a grim irony lost on them, for which they will pay dearly in elections to come.

So these are the previously unseen benefits of this...

Your post describes the converse of a concept made popular c. 1964 by Harlan Ellison, namely, “retroactive birth control” (“Demon with a Glass Hand” and “Soldier”). Were you capable of time travel, you could neutralize your enemy by traveling back in time and eliminating your enemy’s bloodline.

Switch to 2004. Were you stupid enough to implement a policy of pre-birth fetucide in 1973, you could empower your enemy’s voting power in the future... or something like that.

I can’t buy into this line of thinking, but truth is stranger than... science fiction, to be sure.

I always thought the kids tend to develop and hence vote somewhat against what their parents stand and vote for? So maybe there were much more potential Republicans eliminated? Is there a study out there about the voting behaviour of the offsprings in direct relation to the political party of their parents?
