Fertility gap

Okay, when I’m wrong I admit it. Take abortion for example. Perhaps we’re not having nearly enough abortions. I’ll explain. Arthur Brooks, a Syracuse public affairs professor has released a study saying that liberal households are producing children at a rate 41% less than conservative households, 147 babies per hundred households as opposed to 247 babies in conservative households. I assume that this “fertility gap” has many causes, including the liberal’s love affair with abortion, and a real fear that more than 1.47 children per household will hasten the end of the world by exhaling carbon dioxide when we exhale, which causes, according to liberals, the “greenhouse” effect, which, according to liberals, causes global warming, which according to liberals, will kill us all within 10 years.

More importantly, if this gap persists, in 2012 a state with a current 50-50 split will be 54-46 conservative. Better yet, in 2020 a “blue” state like California, which is now 55-45 liberal will become 54-46 conservative. I was wrong about abortion. I apologize. To make amends I intend to open a “reproductive rights” clinic, and offer buy one get one free abortions to all liberals!
