Rasmussen did fine. Don't shoot the messenger.
Rasmussen did not do fine. He was wrong.
I thought we were moving in the other direction on this issue? WTH is happening to this country? Whatever it is, it’s at warp speed.
Most of the people in this country believe what ever ad that they see. Advertising is powerful.
How did the pro-life movement do on November 6?
You are right, things are moving so fast, moving toward a dark place....I could say more but “dark place” pretty much sums it up..

Exactly. Ask Americans if they consider themselves pro-life and a majority will answer yes. Ask Americans if they think abortion should be illegal and a majority will answer no. So what we have is a majority of Americans who would not themselves get an abortion but don't necessarily believe it should not be an option. The classic "I'm totally pro-life (until something really bad happens that I didn't plan for and then I'll be glad I can do something about it).
Um, did you forget about Mourdock? Akins half retarded sep-brother from different mothers ? They truly snatched defeat from the jaws of victory and made Republicans look really bad.
Horrific. For perhaps the first time, it encouraged pro-life voters to vote for an open pro-abort, Mitt Romney. No wonder the article says "elections have consequences" and 54% now identify as pro-abortion.
You have to be joking.
Romney announced in late August that his position on abortion wasn't much different than Roe vs. Wade -- allowing for the wide-open exception of "health" of the mother (a loop hole that can mean almost anything...with the abortionist determining that).
In Dec of 07 Romney made a "pro-choice" statement to Katie Couric, saying that parents of embryos could either give them up for adoption -- OR to "research."
So, coercing MILLIONS of pro-life voters to vote for the first time for such a pro-abort, many crossed a bridge and aren't looking back.
(Or when pressed by fear-mongers to vote for an open pro-abort like Mitt, then they get skittish about their pro-life convictions, back off, and forever are lost to holding their candidates' pro-abortion posturing to the fire)
Nope. not joking. I don't pay too close of attention to this issue but it has always seemed I kept hearing "for the first time, more Americans consider themselves pro-life, etc. when polled etc.
I attributed it to new technologies that show earlier and earlier that this is, indeed, a baby and not a "clump of cells".
Now, I am led to think that people know it is a baby and still think it's OK to kill it. Pretty dark place we are headed.
