PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.

Then why did the country just elect the most pro-death president ever? Sorry for being such a pessimist; but I don’t want to be led astray with false hopes.

Having someone such as Obama with his radical views also brings to light to more people just how nefarious abortion really is.

So ironically, Obama’s ascension may make more people Pro-Life.

I wonder if more Americans have already been pro-life, it's just that Gallup adjusts its poll numbers pro-life after every presidential electional and pro-choice before every presidential election.

One of the best kept secrets by CSPAN is the number of young people who participate in the March for Life.

If we can get Catholics to vote pro-life and Republican then it would be over for the Democrat party.

There are still 0bama supporters who refuse to look at his votes on BAPA.

I explained it to one and she said, that’s ridiculous, that’s infanticide, he’s not in favor of that!

Wanna see the evidence? Hear the quotes?

NO!

This is rubbish. I can’t walk into a cafe or restaurant without finding someone who had an abortion and is looking forward to producing child property for personal pleasure. The majority of Americans are totally evil. There is not going to be an upward trend in morality. Things are only going to get worse.

We should nuke them all, purge them in flames of death and destruction.

That would be too painful for the few who are innocent. However, if I could press a button that would make all life on Earth vanish in a flash, I would press it right now. Let not one molecule of RNA survive, let it be a barren rock forever. Perhaps you are glad that button doesn’t exist?

I get the impression that violence is something that you haven’t had much experience with.

You would be correct. There is no outlet.

Calm down. We live in a fallen world, leave justice to the One who will judge righteously.

Not as an outlet, you just haven’t seen much of it is my impression, if you want to get outside of your adolescent head and goth mentality for a while, then go to a blue collar bar or an illegal alien, or black bar tonight and goad one of the grown up men into kicking your ass, it will distract you from your self pity for a little while.

You may even enjoy it. It could become a habit.
