You have picked up on the fact that the demographics of this issue are against you, and you are correct for several reasons.
One, as you implied, is that pro-life folks will tend to raise their kids to be pro-life. They will eventually outnumber the pro-abortion folks who tend to have fewer kids, due in part to the fact that the pro-abortion folks have killed some of theirs. Those who you seem to consider more 'educated' are driving themselves to extinction. Yep, real smart crowd.
It's a vicious circle. As someone said, "Children of parents who don't have children, also tend not to have children." if ya know what I mean.
The other factor is that the younger generation overall is more pro-life than their parents. Survey after survey points this out. Even the surveys taken by groups like Planned Parenthood make it obvious.
Anyone born after Roe v Wade who thinks about it for about 1 minute realizes the law would have allowed their parents to end their life, and they don't like it one bit.
'If you are younger than 32, it coulda been you.'
Can't blame them for feeling that way. It's just wrong and they know it.
As another has said, "I've noticed that everyone who is for abortion has already been born."
