“Current proposals that promote late-term abortion have reset the landscape and language on abortion in a pronounced – and very measurable – way,” said Barbara Carvalho, director of The Marist Poll.
I think this is exactly what’s going on. Some more moderate or centrist people are seeing the left go so far overboard on late term abortion, including letting the baby die after birth, that they are feeling revulsion.
The ugly display of Andrew Cuomo spiking the football on this issue, when New York passed their abortion law, may well have backfired on the left. Did they think it would help bring people towards their point of view?
This is the one issue on which Millenials do not appear to lean Left. I think they realize that all of them could have easily been aborted.
America's constitutional protections--all of them--came out of a philosophical foundation resting on the premise laid out Jefferson's simple statement.
It should put to rest some of this hand-wringing over America going to hell in a handbasket.
Just because the politicians do it doesn’t mean American follow.
Trump Quote on made in image of Holy God didn’t hurt.
This is the very reason why PP is scared as snot about the David Delaiden videos and have gotten their law lackeys to put them on ice.
The article doesn’t even discuss infanticide AFTER being born! That has to be a huge factor.
Should be on commercials and debate participants should bring it up (as the mods surely will not).
And, if a weaselly Dem tries to say that once a human is born then murder is off limits (which it, of course should be), then comes the question, at what point is the about-to-be born baby safe. 1 day before? 1 week?
“By an even wider margin (71 percent to 18 percent), Americans strongly oppose late-term abortion after 20 weeks.”
“In addition, the poll found that 80 percent of Americans would like abortion limited to – at most – the first three months of pregnancy”
So 71% oppose abortions after 20 weeks, but 80% oppose abortions after 13 weeks (3 months)??? Maybe the word “months” packs more emotional punch than “weeks”.
BABY KILLERS!
Not a winning platform. I would begin SUPER Gluing this to EVERY DEMOCRAT.
If they showed the movie “unplanned” in schools almost everyone would be pro-life.
I thought we didn’t believe polls.
Now if they’re only smart enough to vote in support of their newfound virtue - a very big if.....
I suppose that it’s encouraging that people are still horrified by this abortion debacle, but it’s only going to make a difference if they vote pro-life,
Carl Anderson is quoted. Yet, when elections were held in his town last AUG ... he didn’t vote. Over 80% of “pro-lifers” didn’t vote here in CT.
Other states, not quite so bad.
Carl Anderson needs to start voting in every election. General & primary.
