Wouldn't it actually help Democrats? (in the long term)  Limiting abortion would theoretically increase birth rates among minorities and low income people, which are Democratic voting populations.

Edit (because it proved very necessary): As in, if Republicans succeed in their attempts to outlaw or restrict abortion, it might actually hurt them in the long run.  I'm not proposing this as a way for Democrats to increase their vote share.

I don't believe he is actually suggesting that abortion policy should be driven by political demography. This is a forum on political demography so wondering what the effects of policy on it is an okay thing to wonder about (though as I indicated, any effects in this case are questionable). 

Would it be wrong to ask whether policy toward immigration reform would be a demographic plus or minus for a certain party?
THANK YOU.
