Will allowing abortion actually benefit the right?
I do not advocate anything.
I got a theory, that may be wrong, that we are all selfish, and we simply vote for our interests. However, the conservative opposition to abortion seems to defy those theory.
Basically I am trying to find a reason why certain voting blocks (the conservatives) want to promote demographic growth of those opposite of them.
My understanding is abortion reduce populations of democrats and hence republicans are profited by it. I am asking if it's true.
My expectation is one voting bloc would, all else equal, want to kill the other voting bloc. Democracy is just a modern "war".
So I wonder why would the conservative oppose something that I think profit them?
But before that, I need to ask whether abortion truly benefit the conservative or not. Because I may be wrong there too.
My expectation, which could be false, is that abortion reduces democrat voting bloc more than conservative voting bloc. That means abortion will make the word more "capitalistic" which seems to be what conservatives want.
One answer says that religions tell conservatives not to commit abortion. That is a good explanation. However it doesn't tell why conservatives cherry pick abortion out of so many things prohibited in the bible, for example.
But that would falsify "people's vote for their interests" theory.
Usually, there's something "in it for me". It's not just, it's in the bible so I should promote it. I may be wrong again. But that's another question.
In any case, the question is asked in good faith. Does abortion benefit "typical" conservatives?
Yes, I am aware that libertarian and most conservatives do not choose to prohibit or legalize abortion based on "profit", at least not consciously.
However, is it possible that abortion actually profit them, whether they know it or not.
Basically I am asking if there are "true motives" behind the stated motives that correctly predict voting bloc voting behaviors and whether those true motives can correctly predict stuffs.
