A Reader Sees Hope For “Godless Capitalist ”

Alan Keyes, Abortion, and Mass Immigration

An anonymous reader asks:

Alan Keyes has entered the Illinois Senate race and maintained his focus on moral issues like abortion.

It might serve Mr. Keyes well if he asks himself: why is it that the number of abortions per fertile woman in a state is so highly correlated with the presence of a large foreign born population?

One simple explanation: the pressures of mass immigration fall strongly on young families and make having a family a difficult option. If Mr. Keyes is really concerned about reducing the incidence of abortion, he might do well to consider taking a stronger stand against mass immigration.
