This VERY interesting article points out that because of abortion, the Democrats lost the 2000 election. Essentially, the author argues that abortion has reduced the number of potential voters, and for the Democrats, the number of ‘Missing Voters’ is quite high. High enough to cost an election. It’s a bit more complex than that, with statistics and surveys being juggled with projected outcomes of the so-called ‘Missing Voters’ political ideologies. However, here’s the crux:
– Republicans have fewer abortions than their proportion of the population, Democrats have more than their proportion of the population. Democrats account for 30% more abortions than Republicans (49% vs. 35%).
- There are 19,748,000 Democrats who are not with us today. (49.37 percent of 40 million).
- There are 13,900,000 Republican who are not with us today. (34.75 percent of 40 million).
- By comparison, then, the Democrats have lost 5,848,000 more voters than the Republicans have.
Let’s look at the 2000 election to see what those 6,033,097 Missing Voters meant to its outcome. What would these Missing Voters have meant to the election in Florida?
Table 4: Florida 2000, with and without Missing Voters Candidate Vote Missing Voters Combined Vote Bush 2,912,790 107,799 3,020,589 Gore 2,912,253 153,163 3,065,416 In the actual popular vote for president in the 2000 general election in Florida, George W. Bush was declared the winner by 537 votes. But if the 260,962 Missing Voters of Florida had been present to vote, Al Gore would have won by 45,366 votes. Missing Voters–through decisions made in the 1970s and early 1980s, encouraged and emboldened by the feminist movement at the height of its power–altered the outcome of the U.S. presidency a generation later, in a way proponents of legal abortion could not have imagined.
Examining these results through a partisan political lens, the Democrats have given the Republicans a decided advantage in electoral politics, one that grows with each election. Moreover, it is an advantage that they can never regain. Even if abortion were declared illegal today, and every single person complied with the decision, the advantage would continue to grow until the 2020 election, and would stay at that level throughout the voting lifetime of most Americans living today.
That is pretty interesting, if all those extrapolated numbers are true, and I imagine they’re probably pretty close. Regardless, clearly abortion has robbed generations to come of their very constitutional (not to mention God-given) right to life. But if voting records and election outcomes may be used to prove that case, then so be it. The liberals have reaped what they have sown in ways they can’t possibly imagine.


Hey, J, didn’t you get those gmail invites I sent you?
I did. Hopefully you got my thankyou email…
“Missing voters” is an interesting read, BUT the real needs to be adjusted for the general lousy turnout (20% or less) of young voters.
