Your premise is dependent upon conservative families producing conservative babies. I don't think that's correct.

We've had education systems turning kids into liberals for basically the entirety of history and yet there's still conservatives. No amount, or lack, of baby murder will change that either way.

Although less unwanted babies translates into less future crime, maybe we won't need conservatives.

The chance of becoming a Conservative is higher if you're raised in a conservative house-hold or community, even if most young people are far-left Democrats. Regardless, that ain't even my premise; my premise revolves around electoral votes and House seats.

We've had education systems turning kids into liberals for basically the entirety of history and yet there's still conservatives.

There's increasingly less Conservatives — especially in positions of power — and most of those who remain are obsessed with economic Libertarianism, at the expense of social Conservatism.

A lot of Liberals become conservative over time, too; either they change their views or their goals are achieved.

No amount, or lack, of baby murder will change that either way.

It's less about decreasing the number Conservatives and more about decreasing the number of Liberals in conservative states who contribute to that state's EV/House seat count while having no ability to affect the outcome of elections there.

Although less unwanted babies translates into less future crime

That ain't how crime works. Most crime is caused by:

  1. Urbanization,

  2. Parental incompetence,

  3. A culture of immorality, or

  4. Poverty

Abortion solves none of these. Urbanization can only be solved by encouraging people to move to rural areas. Parental incompetence can only be solved by promoting responsibility, abstinence, etc. A culture of immorality can only by solved by social Conservatism and the destruction of the ultra-liberal billionaire-class. Poverty can only be solved through welfare and economic growth.

I wanted to ask you an off-topic subject. I think I just freaked u/d33r out doing a ton of mod decisions on the backlog on a variety of subs because u/axxa brought up clearing out the mod log on another sub and that appealed to me. I'm not meaning to judge, but you were in charge, why was so much stuff just sitting there?

IDK what you're talking about.

Why is all this shit in the logs that you were supposed to be dealing with?

Anyways, I hope we can be friends even though you don't understand things, that's pretty womanly.

You have to be more specific than "I made some mod decisions." You can't expect me to read your mind. IDK what subs you're talking about, what sub AXXA was talking about, when all this stuff happened, or what d3rr said.

I eventually figured out you meant the mod queue and not mod log, but it didn't clear it up for me.
