Without looking at the site, I presume it refers to the "Roe vs.

assumed) will have more abortions than Republican women therefore
the number of Democrats will slowly decline.

But that really doesn't work when you check the demographics. But
there are people who have strong enough convictions about abortion
that their political preferences move towards the party that gives the
most lip service to their side of this issue.

Well, yes it does fit the demographics.

Abortion should be generally available:
Conservative Repub - 17%
Liberal Dem - 60%

It was estimated that there were 75,000 abortions in Florida in 1982 (45,000
by liberal dems and 12750 by conservative repubs, if the above percentages
apply - a difference of 32,250).

Now had those 75,000 gone to term, they would have been eligible to vote in
2000. Of the calculated liberal plurality of 32,000, some would have died,
some moved away, some incarcerated, and so on. But some would have voted.

If the "some" that voted exceeded 600, Al Gore would have been president.
