New High: 52% Are Pro-Choice (Rasmussen poll)
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 08/06/2012 | Scott Rasmussen

Posted on 08/06/2012 10:52:18 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

More voters than ever are now pro-choice when it comes to abortion, but just as many view it as morally wrong in most situations.

Overall, 52% of Likely U.S. Voters consider themselves pro-choice when it comes to abortion, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Forty-one percent (41%) say they are pro-life. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on July 31-August 1, 2012 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC . See methodology.

More evidence of Dem oversampling in these polls!

This is irresponsible on the part of pollsters.

Have you stopped rape? Case closed!
Making something illegal does not eliminate it.

If anyone tells you they're pro-choice, don't bother with the realism of video because most people will gag and stop watching. Instead, download the mp3 file, "Abortion Methods", here.

I've gotten several folk to listen to it and all of them listened all the way through. The first portion where the speaker describes the development of the infant and the most common method of murder used at each stage of development usually shocks them. Most people have absolutely no idea that the infant isn't quickly and painlessly killed but is instead painfully murdered, and in the case of saline tortured to death over a number of hours or even an entire day.

When you know the facts it's really hard to remain Christian and not start advocating ripping abortionists apart alive or burning them to death with massive injections of salt. Abortion is the issue that will trigger Civil War in this country unless it's at the very least severely limited within the next few years. The democrat party was established to defend the right of the "elite" to both control Southern society and to own other human beings. To this day it has never altered those goals and is still dedicated to eliminating the Constitution, replacing it with a ruling nobility that answers to no one, and reasserting the right of the nobility to own other human beings as slaves.

Black folks who vote for the democrat fascists are the most amazing part of the whole abortion issue to me. I can't imagine people voting for the descendants and heirs of the very same people who enslaved them and are actively engaged in ethnic cleansing intended to eliminate the vast majority of black folks. If that's not a form of demonic incited blindness, nothing is. JMHO

This is exactly why I no longer believe anything beyond what Pain, Levin, Limbaugh and Malkin say. Anyone else is suspect of the lie... including scotty mcromney rasmussen and his polling propaganda.

Sorry to hear that you don’t believe in the self-evident truths of the Declaration of Independence, the stated purposes of the Constitution, or the Constitution’s explicit, imperative requirements.

Other than the supreme unalienable right, the right to live, which other of our rights do you think are up to localities?

That is not so. If it were so, they would allow us a referendum vote on the issue.

Be careful, you will pull a muscle stretching so hard!

The religious right has no more authority or inside enlightenment to dictate such a difficult issue as the left wing nut jobs have to dictate bans on guns. Our system is based on compromise solutions that balance individual freedoms and liberties with those of public safety and values. Banning late term abortions is absolutely the right thing to do but I will NEVER support an outright ban on abortion that would exacerbate the already difficult decision about abortion. Contrary to what you may believe, not everyone that faces a decision about abortion is a reckless heathen, it is not a true/false decision. For example, I will NEVER support any law that would DEMAND that a 14 year old rape victim bear a child resulting from that attack. This self righteous positions taken by all sides of these issues is destroying the confidence the country had in itself.

I am confused by the results of this poll. Usually, Rasmussen is more accurate than other pollsters He probably just had an anomaly in his sample.

I assume you mean clinical abortions. Most birth control pills are abortifacients - ie they allow conception (the human life begins at this very moment) however prevent implantation. ERGO - there are countless babies that are aborted/killed via the Pill. Ironically, there are millions of women who take abortifacients that state they are pro-life...mmmmm?

I think polls like this are bogus because more than 90% consistently agree that Partial Birth Abortions & late term abortions should be outlawed.

Since the Gallup poll was probably adults and Rasmussen is likely voters, the only way to reconcile the two is that people who don’t vote are more pro-life than people who do.
