Okay, Glatt, you have to explain this one.

OK. Most abortions are performed on women who are not ready to have kids yet. Not all, but most. (I'm aware that older women get abortions too.) When those women have children, that will cause them to become poor single moms. As a demographic group, poor single moms vote for Democrats. Children are almost always indoctrinated into the politics of the parents, so those kids will grow up to be Democrats as well. There are about 1.5 million abortions performed each year, so that means about 1.5 million new Democrats will be born each year. In a generation, that should have a significant impact on national politics.
