I think it’s always been that way. it’s just the first time that the liberal-slanted polls have picked up on it.

That’s all the more astounding.

I can be “pro-choice” and choose NOT to have an abortion or to choose to have one only under some extreme situation.

If you want to get technical here, the morning after pill in an abortion as in blocks a fertlized egg from attaching to the uterine wall.

BTW, are these women who responded or men? I don’t see why they sholdeven be asking men. They would skew the results favoring pro-choice.

“Gender Agreement

A year ago, Gallup found more women calling themselves pro-choice than pro-life, by 50% to 43%, while men were more closely divided: 49% pro-choice, 46% pro-life. Now, because of heightened pro-life sentiment among both groups, women as well as men are more likely to be pro-life.

Men and women have been evenly divided on the issue in previous years; however, this is the first time in nine years of Gallup Values surveys that significantly more men and women are pro-life than pro-choice.”

They did ask women. 49% to 43% are Pro-Life.

More like recruiting the weak and weak-minded.

I helped turn one from the dark side at work, when her own teenage daughter wanted to abort her child. I worked weeks, convincing both that this was a child, not a tumor (or whatever euphamisms the left uses).

4 years later, Max is a wonderful child, and this co-workers is now staunchly pro-life (and even had an unexpected blessing of her own @ 40!)

G_d is good, all the time.

And as I argue with people, the choice was for the mother to engage in that behavior.

Once she found out she was preggers, it's murder.

We keep praying while the left keeps killing. Time is on our side.

Kind of curious if this shift is the result of some "spiritual revelation" among Americans, or the result of the influx of more Conservative Hispanics & other immigrants -- or is it that so many of the selfish Baby Boomers, who were once pro-choice, have now hit menopause & no longer feel the pressure?

I suspect it is the result of a bit of each of those.
