How could you possibly know that? Political affiliation/worldview isn't decided in utero.
Babies aborted are disproportionately black, hence the leftist claims that pro-life is secretly a racist attack on blacks, by somehow wanting more of them. The leftist mind is always seeking victimhood.
Babies aborted are disproportionately black, Hispanic, and female, while the moms are disproportionately single mothers and liberal women. All those signs point to future democrats.

The Supreme Court is planning to vote to strike down the decision of Roe v. Wade, long considered a vanguard of guaranteeing a right to an abortion in the United States.
The opinion draft was written by Justice Samuel Alito, one of the six justices appointed by Republican presidents on the nine-member court.
'Roe was egregiously wrong from the start,' Alito writes.
Constitutionally, yes. It was egregiously wrong. Many of us have been saying that for a L-O-N-G time.
Maybe Trump's appointees are as leaky as his administration?
I'd call it skeptical though. Traditionally SCOTUS has run a tight ship. The opinion at the very least is a convincing fake though and a huge amount of effort to put into such a thing. I'd normally just discount it were the "sources familiar with the matter allege" but more to it than that.
Anyway, doesn't really bother me that much. Personally I always felt it was more of a state than federal issue.
My bet is the left leaked it to pressure SCOTUS to reconsider before the decision is officially released.
Proving such a hypothesis is impossible of course.
But people tend to grow up to eventually be closely aligned with their parents politically and the majority of abortions aren't performed on conservative women.
This is likely BS. Why would the GOP do this in an election year they’ve got in the bag?
Abortion opposition doesn't have near the sway that it used to. It's not the 90's anymore, and Democrats now find it very difficult to even define what a woman is let alone defend Roe V. Wade.
Contraception is easily obtained these days, without stigma. Young people aren't mating like they used to, so the chances of knowing someone that had an abortion are slimmer than they used to be. There's also a lot of horrible crap going on to worry about that's more important than abortion. I don't think this is going to cost the GOP anything. The various state restrictions they've passed recently haven't hurt them at all.
A quick reminder, "if" Roe v. Wade is undone, it simply goes back to the states, where about 75% of the population lives in a state that is unlikely to change their abortion laws much.
Another quick reminder, Roe v. Wade was made at a time based on science that is now outdated based on when a fetus can feel pain, etc.
Complete nonsense the science didn’t change it was the court that changed. Changing precedent should be based on sound logic and a high standard otherwise the country loses faith in the court system and it just becomes a partisan institution. This court has no credibility.
Were the companies manufacturing the abortion pills, which you can buy online, behind this, maybe?
Those close to the Border can go to a Mexican pharmacy and buy them there. Can't take them across the Border? Then stay over in a border town and take them there.
Won't the "abortion pill" still be completely legal? The restrictions that have been placed are around 12 weeks? The "morning after" is not 12 weeks.
Statistics are kept on that. Only 0.3% of all abortions are due to rape. Medical necessity (mother's and/or baby's health) and incest round that up to 1.7%. 98.3% of the 900,000 abortions performed each year are solely for the sake of convenience. 95% of abortions are due to voluntary participation in unprotected sex. Only about 3% are due to the failure of correctly used birth control.
