Is Liberalism Destined to Die? by Sir Daein Robert Ballard      Is liberalism* destined to die?      Well, perhaps not really die, but at least to become the ideology of a minority.      This may be hard for some to believe, but Roe vs. Wade handed the proverbial Keys to the Kingdom to the conservatives.      What makes me say this? In a democracy the majority rules, and a liberal is much more likely to have an abortion than a conservative. So, using today's statistics, the liberal population will grow about 25% more slowly than the conservative population.      There are variables that may work against this, but the conservative population is also affected by the same effects; any advantage the liberals would get from those variables are therefore practically negated.      You might be wondering if there are ways to stop or slow the steady trend toward conservatism? The two most obvious ways to stop this are either:          1) ban abortion or          2) pass a law like China has that limits each family to one child.      However, the slowed liberal population should already be beginning to be felt today, which means the 2nd solution is now unlikely to happen.      Whether my theory is correct, only time will tell.      (* liberalism as in socialism)
