Democratic-Abortion Correlation

[aviet]

I was crunching some number today relating to trends in US states, when I got distracted on what trends there are with abortion.

I used data on voter registration, as I thought this would give you a better idea of emphaticism for a given party. The results show a very strong correlation between abortion and the Democratic party. The four states with a 25% surplus of Democrat voters, also made up four of top five for abortion rate. When there are democratic states with a low abortion rate, they are in the bible belt.

 

 

There is not such a great correlation between registered Democrats and children born out of wedlock, but that is somewhat offset by the Democrat state's abortion rates.

Births out of wedlock are lowest among middle-income states.

Abortions are lowest among low-income states.

Wyoming is the gold-standard of protecting the poorest and most vulnerable people in society. Achieved with a moral compass, not with the government.

Also came across this while looking for data:



Interesting to see that out-of-wedlock births are probably down about 10%. I think 2007 really was the year when the line between r and k was crossed.

I was wondering the relationship between income and abortion rates. Do poor women really use it as birth control? My skewed anecdata suggest it is more about keeping middle class women in the middle class and not burdened with children that would kick them down out of middle class into poverty. Whereas poor women's standard of living is actually raised by having more children due to welfare. Just a theory, but I have a hunch that lefty feminists can hide behind "protecting underprivileged women" in order to protect their backup birth control (abortion).

 

Edit: Nevermind I think the first chart gives a lot of good info along this line. Seems to support my theory.
