Some good news from the pro-infanticide crowd. Remind me to shed some crocodile tears for their inability to find quislings.
I found the statistics to be heartening. Looks like the power of compounding is working it’s magic. It’ll take another 10-20 years, but infanticide for convenience’s sake will eventually go away in the U.S. Not because of anything that happens in the political sphere of course, but because women will stop allowing their unborn children to be eliminated.
Too bad Lifenews.com can't even cite their own stories correctly!
They say...
An August 2007 Pre Research poll also found 64 percent of Americans who want abortions banned or restricted.And they link to their own story... of a Pew Research poll that was conducted in August 2006. And most telling of all is that they totally made up the 64 percent number--it isn't in there.
For example:
Abortion continues to split the country nearly down the middle. But there is consensus in one key area: two out of three Americans (66%) support finding "a middle ground" when it comes to abortion. Only three-in-ten (29%), by contrast, believe "there's no room for compromise when it comes to abortion laws." This desire to find common ground extends broadly across the political and ideological spectrum.and
Public opinion about the legality of abortion is largely unchanged from previous polling. While about one-in-three (31%) prefer for abortion to be generally available to those who want it and one-in-ten (11%) take the opposite position that abortion should not be permitted at all, most Americans fall in between, preferring what might be described as a "legal but rare" stance. One-in-five (20%) say that abortion should be available but under stricter limits than it is now, while about one-in-three (35%) say that abortion should be illegal except in cases of rape, incest or to save the woman's life.As for the CBS News poll claim...
...79 percent take one of the three pro-life stances...Okay, first of all, what they are citing in the poll itself was a number for WHITE EVANGELICALS (yet LifeNews implies that it's either everyone polled, or else [from their previous paragraph] it's "Evangelicals, black evangelicals and Catholics.") I don't know many black evangelicals who consider themselves white evangelicals. Perhaps some Catholics do.
And secondly, they say: "one of the three pro-life stances," so they are saying that "abortion is okay in the case of rape" is a "pro-life" stance. Interesting. Only 9 percent of White Evangelicals (4 percent in general) said abortion should be banned entirely, though 35 percent of White Evangelicals said it would be okay only to save a woman's life.
Bottom line: a lot of sloppy game-playing with the numbers, and lumping "some restriction" in as "pro-life"
