New York lost more residents – and at the largest rate – in 2023 than any other state, despite an overall rise in the U.S. population, according to U.S. Census data.
The bureau released a map showing the percentage change in state populations between July 2022 and July 2023 – New York stands out as the only state colored a deep orange, a label for a percentage change of -0.5 or more.
Believe it or not, people might not always have abortion at the top of their list when they’re moving. In fact I’m willing to bet cost of living is near the top of their list.
Spot on. Migration is a major factor in affecting political change anyway.
Some of these comments are so out of touch. The irony is that people who blanket support pro choice will go extinct as they abort more of their children over time or don’t reproduce at all (the people above you in this chain). Conservative people don’t abort (now by law) - their population will grow. Thus more anti-abortion laws will happen.
Nice, managed to sneak in the great replacement theory with your anti-choice rhetoric
That’s not great replacement theory. Maybe even the opposite?
Great Replacement Theory is usually spouted by white nationalist (who are conservatives) who think THEY are being replaced. What that commenter just said is those conservatives are the ones reproducing the most.

A big part of the great replacement theory is the assertion that democrats move migrants and “import” migrants to change the voting blocks.
According to previous studies on who gets abortions, a lot of people getting abortions are people who have already had children, so your latter point doesn’t really check out.
People who are pro choice might still choose to have children.
People don’t necessarily inherit the political opinions of their parents, and can change their outlook over time.
People can spread their ideas through other methods than reproduction, such as debate, educating other people’s children, or sharing their opinion on Lemmy.
But brainwashing children is by far the best way???

Only someone wholly – and I do mean absolutely, completely, without even a smidgen of alternate possibility in there – invested in groupthink could come up with that. Homo sapiens has yet to “go extinct” in any way, shape or form. The proof is all around us.
As a brown-rice eating, Birkenstock-wearing, granola-crunching liberal, I can tell you sincerely and as a matter of fact that people of all political persuasions, moronic or otherwise, INDIVIDUALLY “go extinct” without exception, though this process in individuals is usually referred to as “death,” and has zippity-doo-dah to do with that individual’s offspring, born or unborn, aborted, flushed, roto-rooted and/or otherwise dislodged from its safe place, be it before birth or after the age of 30.
Except Jesus. He completely failed to reproduce, yet his followers insist to this day that he cheated his own personal “extinction” event, things that make you go hmm, I’m sure. But wait! There’s more!
It’s amazing how many abortions they necessitate, facilitate, AND fund for not aborting though, isn’t it.
