James Taranto of the Wall Street Journal claims the same effect is reponsible for more Republican voters over time. Not only are abortions performed more among traditionally Democratic groups (thus over time resulting in proportionally fewer blacks, hispanics, and other pro-Democratic constituencies), common sense indicates that children generally are more likely to grow up voting similarly to their parents. If those children were never born in the first place, they'll never vote.

This is really humorous that they think that abortions translate into more Republicans
