Gallup Poll Finds More Americans Pro-Life Than Pro-Abortion

Washington, DC -- The Gallup released the results of a new survey confirming, for the third time in the last year, that more Americans call themselves pro-life than "pro-choice" on abortion. That's enough for the respected polling firm to say a pro-life majority is the "new normal" in the United States.

This just means, I’m afraid, that the government will continue to support the minority side....

Why does the Fed push the killing of American babies while leaving our borders open for an influx of anchor babies?

And just when Crist the ex-RINO now-left-leaning-indie switch-hitter decides to go pro-abort ... now he’s down in the polls:

Odd then isn’t it that such a pro-life population would elect the most pro-abortion president ever. Someone’s either being deceived or deceiving themselves.

It is good to see that the more this issue is discussed and the more is learned in regard to this issue that the more people are seeing the light. Many on the left (and quite a few on the right as well) claim that so-called ‘gay rights’ is inevitable being that among young people the majority side with the left-wing on the issue. I would say that this new trend on abortion also will eventually apply to the ‘gay rights’ issue as well. The more people learn that it is not about protecting anyone’s rights but is really about the left-wing forcing their perverted morality on others the more the polls will change as well on the issue of how sexuality is dealt with in public. People just need to keep up the good fight!

47% is hardly good news. I mean, 37 years of the left aborting their offspring and 37 years of technology showing the unborn is alive...and still not even a majority of people can agree that its wrong to kill the unborn.

I don’t see this as odd at all. It is easy to say you are something until you are faced with that choice in your own life. There was no excuse for not knowing where obama stood on this issue pre 11/4/08 but he still got something like 43% of the vote of regular church attenders. Too many folks don’t have solid moral convictions imo.

I suppose that the anchor babies are more likely to vote RAT.
