"Take a randomly selected sample of 100 liberal adults and 100 conservative adults. According to an analysis of the 2004 General Social Survey -- a bible of data for social scientists -- the liberals would have had 147 kids, while the conservatives would have had 208. That's a fertility gap of 41 percent. Even adjusting for other variables like age and income, there is a gap of 19 percent."

true, you also see the same gap between people of low education and people of high education. people with higher education levels tend to have fewer kids.

so that you view anybody with a darker epidermis tone as an unthinking oaf who will reliably vote for liberals, no count number number what occurs? I hate to break it to you, yet southern whites once reliably voted Democrat, and freed slaves once reliably voted Republican. adverse Irish immigrants were once sturdy democrats (someplace round ninety%, i believe), yet once assimilated they evened out somewhat and now help both events about both. in case you seem lower back at heritage, you'll locate the coolest Democratic help between immigrants is often fleeting, and fades some generations later. Birthrates may also replace over the years, each and every from time to time fairly heavily. data are only a photo, they could be able to't properly expect the destiny.

if you think that kids follow the political leanings of their parents, i think you are dreaming.
this study also stands in the face of the anecdotal stories that we hear about inner city people having tons of kids.
i'd guess that your story is not accurate.
but whatever - people will vote for what they vote for.
the entire questions seems kind of pointless - but right about now, i understand why cons need to make plans for about 40 years from now.
by the way, per capita abortion rates in red states are generally higher than in blue states - not sure what that means...

It is hard to say. I was raised by a family full of conservatives, but I am a liberal.

The survey makes sense. Conservatives are family oriented. Liberals are more about forwarding their careers and hold off on family until sometimes it's too late and also views on abortion.

I don't think it will...liberal and conservative are not parties. And both parties tend to weave in and out of being either liberal or conservative

This does not mean that conservatives are on the rise. I wish. There children make there own decision. My wife and I are conservatives and we have two children. One has decided that she is democrat. This is OK with us as long as she participates. Conservatives welcome diversity.

Homosexuals are liberal, almost all of them. Since they cannot have children, they lower the total for liberals as a whole.
