Is the abortion debate mostly what keeps conservatives going?
If you're against abortions you're probably going to have fewer of them, and raise your non-aborted kids to have your same beliefs
What percentage of women have abortions, and what percentage of conservatives might've had an abortion but didn't
Is it giving them a 5% edge in elections
Maybe democrats should be like "you know what? we switch, we don't like abortions either now"
And the contrarian conservatives will get suspicious and go "they're up to something, can't trust that, maybe we should be in favor of abortions"
Now suddenly democrats have the population advantage
