Another way to think of it, is of the 60,000,000 persons that were aborted since I was born, most of those would be on the left.

Those 60,000,000 could have turned into 500,000,000 left-leaning citizens.

There would be no election other than with one political party.

We'd be Communist.

Another 100 years ("before long"), the numbers would skyrocket.


Your assumption is that all 60,000,000 of the abortions would have resulted in an additional live birth. That is not a likely outcome. A percentage of those pregnancies would have ended naturally (10%-20% is the known rate of miscarriages). A large number of the children that would have been born would be number 1, 2. or 3 of a family's planned births. They wouldn't necessarily "add" an extra kid just because they avoided the abortion.

No matter how you do the math, it would not be a one-for-one addition of live births.

I agree.

I was only making a point.

I am, too.

Abortions will not make us become overwhelmingly conservative, liberal, or communist.

They are not something that I support, but that is a whole different thing.

I think our descendants will be 99.99% pro-life.

It's only a matter of time.



The thing to see here, is abortion is "against" the left-leaning folks and "for" the right-leaning folks, because of voting power.

Reproductive math.



The math begins to explode upward in the later years.

At the beginning, it's a slow process.

Saw this:

Quote:
Exodus 21:22-23, which seems to contradict Alabama's ruling that an embryo is a full person.


Verse 22 supposes that two men are fighting, and one wounds a pregnant bystander. If she dies, it is murder, and the penalty is death. If she only miscarries, the culprit is liable for a fine to be determined by her husband. The next verse declares "a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." Clearly Moses values the woman as fully life, above the embryo, which is only a potential child.

Thankfully, the Solicitor General arguing the "abortion pill" before SCOTUS is well-prepared. If the pill is banned, it won't be for that reason.

Good grief, Alito asks shouldn't the FDA continue to report non-fatal consequences even though no other drug on the market undergoes that scrutiny beyond 15 years. Shoot dude just say, "I'm trying to find a reason to ban this drug." not judge it fairly.

I'm trying to not be more prejudicial against the attorney leading the charge against the pill, but I just realized the lead attorney is Sen Josh Hawley's wife.
