Those missing Democratic voters

By Phil Lawler ( bio - articles - email ) | Jun 28, 2004

Here's an original and intriguing article from the Opinion Journal.

You've heard the argument that Democrats lose votes because of their support for abortion. Here the argument is made in a new and arresting form.

Demographic data suggest that among American voters between the ages of 18 and 31, the Democrats enjoy a clear voting advantage. But several million potential voters in that age category-- more than enough to swing a national election-- won't turn up on Election Day.

You see, those potential Democratic voters were aborted.
