I think it is quite important with the new NBC poll out saying that America overwhelmingly supports abortion to look at this data that is less than six months old. It obviously key when considering the anniversary of Roe.

It absolutely points to the power of propaganda and manipulation going on in this nation. How can the two polls be reconciled? It is also foolish to thin the public cannot be persuaded on this issue.

For all we know, in May of 2012 Gallup felt like over-stating the issue. A good number of people were feeling at the time that Romney couldn’t lose.

There are precious few polls that count for anything. In the last real one, a majority of Americans said you can't kill babies fast enough to make them happy.

Meaningless polls to the contrary are just that...meaningless.

They said abortion should be safe, legal, and RARE. But how do they ensure it’s RARE...? Is there a way of assuring it’s not abused as a form of contraception?

I propose an agency that keeps a permanent record of abortions, the better to assure there are no serial aborters:

Identification, biometrics, waiting period, quiz for license, records subject to inspection by trained regulators.

This would deter junk abortions, or assault abortions.

We already do this for something in the Constitution, why not for a life and death matter that’s NOT in the Constitution...?

PERMANENT RECORDS. For safety. For quality.

FOR THE CHILDREN.

Go figure!

A nation who care about abortion wouldn’t reelect the pro-abort Obama. You don’t get more pro-abortion than Obama.

But a thread about another poll today stated that 70% opposed the overtuning of Roe v. Wade. Doesn’t seem to add up.

Remember, polls are not science. They are opinion surveys and, while using some scientific techniques, polls are not designed like a scientific study. Poll results are about opinions, which are subject to frequent fluctuation, and media reports of poll results are nothing more than propaganda. Media uses poll results to bolster the seeming validity of their propaganda, but it is still just propaganda. Don’t take the media reports seriously and make it clear to other people that the media is simply spreading propaganda. When someone mentions something they heard or read in the media as if it is a fact, remind them of Pravda.
