Coming Out on Abortion

[Warning: This post contains satire and black humor]

Rudy Giuliani isn't going to equivocate on abortion rights--he's for them and he's going to say so.


After months of conflicting signals on abortion, Rudolph W. Giuliani is planning to offer a forthright affirmation of his support for abortion rights in public forums, television appearances and interviews in the coming days, despite the potential for bad consequences among some conservative voters already wary of his views, aides said yesterday.

At the same time, Mr. Giuliani’s campaign — seeking to accomplish the unusual task of persuading Republicans to nominate an abortion rights supporter — is eyeing a path to the nomination that would try to de-emphasize the early states in which abortion opponents wield a great deal of influence. Instead they would focus on the so-called mega-primary of Feb. 5, in which voters in states like California, New York and New Jersey are likely to be more receptive to Mr. Giuliani’s social views than voters in Iowa and South Carolina.

I'm starting to think Rudy is starting a trend in Republican circles.

Chicago school economist Stephen Levitt explained the plummeting of crime statistics, abortion and other social ills in the middle 1990s as a result of Roe v. Wade. Further analysis determined that legal abortion also disportionately affects liberal Democrats, who in spite of being only 20% of the population, have half of all abortions.

Suddenly abortion has an upside.

Others have surmised that since children usually emulate their parent's voting patterns, the prevalence of abortions among liberals resulted in a "Roe gap" of 18 million missing Democrats in the 2004 election cycle. That number is expected to grow to over 25 million by next year.

Meanwhile conservative Republicans are "choosing" to have Republican babies and lots of them. Utah, where I live, has the youngest and most Republican demographics in the nation. Its really no surprise to me. One of my business partners has seven little Republicans, promising to create serious problems for Democrats for many elections to come.

While me and mine "choose life", I'm pretty ambivalent about forcing liberal Democrats to birth the next generation of muggers, murderers and Democrat voters. If they want to self-select for extinction, should I be really standing in their way?

Perhaps Ann Romney's $150.00 contribution was just doing her bit to rejig the balance between conservative and liberals in Massachusetts? As to whether she personally believes in abortion? She had five sons for crying out loud!

In the end, that might end up being best political position on abortion--not for "me" personally, but if you dysfunctionals want to engage in a program of personal eugenics, by all means, go right ahead.

The studs at Uncorrelated.com alone are guaranteeing conservativism for the future. I have 5. The first was nearly an abortion 35 years ago, but my girlfriend unexpectedly said she wanted the baby, so we got married. From the moment I held the baby I became 'pro-life' without thinking about it.
