WSJ-Dems lost Florida cause abortions "Literally" cost them voters
What a sick f*'in analysis. I bet Repub women just don't admit they've had abortions. Yeah and if your Repug governor and Katherine Harris hadn't disenfranchised living voters - sigh

http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110005277

More than 40 million legal abortions have been performed and documented in the 30 years since the U.S. Supreme Court declared abortion legal. The debate remains focused on the legality and morality of abortion. What's largely ignored is a factual analysis of the political consequences of 40 million abortions. Consider:

• There were 12,274,368 in the Voting Age Population of 205,815,000 missing from the 2000 presidential election, because of abortions from 1973-82.

• In this year's election, there will be 18,336,576 in the Voting Age Population missing because of abortions between 1972 and 1986.

<snip>

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?

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.

6. Republican women have "appendectomies"
A discreet hospital visit & everything's OK.

The catch: You can only use this excuse once.

4. God, these people are MONSTERS!
Only a sick sick mind could conceive at this analysis, let alone it's conclusions.

Naturally, what wouldn't even be used for toilet paper previously is now Mainstream.

Monsters. Get ready. They may be coming sooner, they may be coming later, but chances are, once the last generation of the Old Republic is gone and Unchecked Power consolidated...

...they WILL come.

Which is why it is so important to flood this election with more honest votes than the Busheviks a=can block or stuff!

7. Rather than worry about the possible votes of a child who may
or may not have been born, I would like to concentrate on the people who are alive today and wer enot allowed to vote in 2000 because of Florida's unconsitutional purging of records.
