On Abortion: Why are the Republicans against and the Democrats for?

A friend of mine wanted me to contribute to an event celebrating Juneteenth. The celebration included support for expanding voter registration, teaching about slavery and black history and advocating for a woman’s “right to choose.” I told him that I was all in favor of expanding voter registration but he should add voter education to the statement. I was in favor to teaching an accurate accounting of slavery and black history (not the woke version) but I was opposed to carte blanche advocacy of abortion. I told him that the mantra used of “my body my choice” was inaccurate since it was not the woman’s body that was in peril but the baby’s. I also said that the main issue of importance to me was k-3 reading and math proficiency. He said that he would include wording on proficiency but would not change the language regarding abortion on demand. I told him that in that case I would not make a contribution.

Isn’t it interesting that abortion is the main social item that separates republicans from the democrats? It has always puzzled me why the sides line up like they do. I think it is reasonable to say that most abortions are performed on democrats not republicans. That means that the democrats are decreasing the number of their future voters. Shouldn’t the democrats then be against abortion and the republicans be for it? Consider that there are over one million abortions performed each year. The CDC reports that 42 percent are non-Hispanic black women, 30 percent are non-Hispanic white women, 22 percent Hispanic and 6 percent other races. I find this astounding since blacks are only 14 percent of the US population. In New York City the number of abortions exceed the number of live births. I have written before how Planned Parenthood was founded by the racist Margaret Sanger to limit black births and is a form of genocide. Planned Parenthood is predatory targeting black women and is disproportionately in majority black census tracts. Given that black women are among the most loyal of the democrat constituency it is safe to assume that the majority of those aborted black babies would have grown up to be democrat voters. Therefore, it seems to me that the republicans should change tactics and become vocal supporters of abortion. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see how the democrats would react?
