A Tale of Two Cities
This USA Today Op/Ed discusses the demographics that are at work for conservatives. It contrasts two of my favorite cities in the world - Seattle and Salt Lake - and points out that one city has kids, and the other city has dogs.
"What's the difference between Seattle and Salt Lake City? There are many differences, of course, but here's one you might not know. In Seattle, there are nearly 45% more dogs than children. In Salt Lake City, there are nearly 19% more kids than dogs."
Since it is conservatives that tend to have more kids (and less abortions), this favors Conservatives. This is because children tend to follow in their parents' political footsteps, and therefore there are more children who grow up to be conservative themselves -- like their parents.
Fortunately for liberals, however, they are not left without hope. They still have the indoctrination of MTV, liberal academia, and plain old rebellion to counteract such "inherited" conservative notions.

Provo...are we sure that conservatives have less abortions? Sure, we liberals advocate for a woman's right to choose, but how can we be sure that more liberals are having abortions.
Conservatives favor abstinence as opposed to teaching about birth control so i would think that it might be the other way around. Children of conservatives might engage in risky behavior which leads to an unexpected pregnancy-->which leads to shame and many other negatives. Instead of facing this shame the individual engages in the abortion...its definately feasible...more so than the statement that more liberals have abortions?
just a thought from our nations's capital!
That is an interesting fact. I hope my kids follow in my footsteps. Except they better be 10 foot tall and bulletproof
