Abortion is one of those interesting issues that shows that some people only like democracy when it supports what they believe in, and toss it out when the people do not support their views.

I think those who wish to allow for the termination of pregnancy on a mothers whim have no desire to see this come to a vote, either nation wide or state to state. Honestly I am not either. While most states would outlaw abortion, I'm sure a few would allow it. Much like people in socialized medical systems that take health 'vacations' where they travel to a country with private medical services to escape the inadequacies of their home system, you would see abortion 'vacations' set up to those states that allow it. The net effect would be abortion would only be open to the upper and middle classes in many places.

This would cause me to continue to need to spend more money on the welfare underclass, as well as adding to the numbers of uneducated urban voters who will be pandered to by left with money from the producing classes. Much like having an abortion my support is totally selfish.

This theory is known as the ‘Roe Effect’. It is believed it has cost the democrats a net 5 million votes if you look at voting trends and who had the abortions. I don’t know if this is in fact true but it is an interesting theory.

Wouldn’t it be ironic if the lefts unfaltering support of abortion has cost them the very power to maintain it? Likewise the rights desire to end this practice may well seal its fate as a minority philosophy in the years to come.

You can’t kill some odd 35+ million potential people off and not expect there to be unforseen consequences.
