This is absolutely fascinating. It's something I've been saying for a while, but they've done considerably more analysis on it.
I disagree with how they worked some of the numbers (younger adults vote at a lower rate than the general population, so the effects on votes would not be quite as pronounced as they indicate) but they also left out the fact that traditionally liberal 'revolutions' in society (think the late 1960s) occur when there is a higher than usual level of young people. With numbers of abortions as high as they are, liberals are risking going a long while without a revolutionary change to drive their policies. I don't know enough about the 'Reagan revolution' of the 1980s, but I do know that if the American left is unable to counter the revivals and renewals of the youth entering the American right, they're in for some long-term stagnation. Which is not good, particularly for the political left of ANY nation. If you're basing your policy on liberality and change, it's definitely not a good thing to stagnate. It would be interesting to see if legalized abortion continues if the political parties start to shift positions in a massive way.

…So I got invited into a chatroom by what I presume was an AIM bot. Consisted of much “click on my profile to see why you're here!” and then having said individual's (bots'?) profiles turning out to be links to free pr0n! passwords. Woohoo.
Sad and boring as my life is, I actually gave up reading “Measure for Measure” for about 15 minutes to talk about linux with a complete stranger in a pr0n advertisement.
And with that, adieu.
