22. Surprising numbers.

I suspect that younger Latinos want to keep abortion while older, more conservative parents and grandparents believe it should be banned. Unfortunately, it is the older ones who vote, though with this issue younger Latinos may register and vote in greater numbers.

Living in Austin, I encounter quite a few Latinos and I’ve sometimes asked them about voting when an election is near. I often get the excuse that they’re too busy. In the past, I’ve gently encouraged them to register and vote. I may be a bit more than encouraging in the future.
