The Roe effect manifested

From Pro-Life Wisconsin:
A picture is worth a thousand words... first we have this photo courtesy of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin's Facebook page. It is a photo of a celebration of Roe v. Wade that PPWI held in Madison:


Notice the audience... old white-haired women who look rather sad, actually.

There is a theory called the Roe Effect. Put simply, this theory holds that:
  • Those who favor legal abortion are much more likely to get one than those who oppose it.
  • Children usually follow their parents' political leanings.
  • Therefore, pro-choice parents will have more abortions and, hence, fewer children.
  • Therefore, the pro-choice population gradually shrinks in proportion to the pro-life population.
  • Therefore, support for legal abortions will decline over time.
In comparison to the throngs of young, vibrant, enthusiastic pro-lifers who crowded the streets of Washington, D.C. for the March for Life. See also our related post on "about" 65 people attending a PPWI event in Milwaukee.

I created a bumper sticker about the "Roe Effect".

One generation...that's who had to die out before the Israelites could enter the Promised Land.

It should also be noted where the PPWI RvW celebration was held — a Room of One's Own. For those who don't know its history, it's a hugely feminist, liberal, pro-homosexuality bookstore in downtown Madison. Not really surprising it was held there and it definitely does color that photo just a bit more.
