Even the dimmest of Democrats should start to understand this:
A new Quinnipiac University poll finds 67 percent of Americans oppose funding abortions with government funds under the government-run health care bill pending in Congress. This is the latest of several recent polls all showing a majority of Americans oppose tax-funded abortions.
The new survey asked: “Do you support or oppose allowing abortions to be paid for by public funds under a health care reform bill?”
Some 67 percent of respondents said no while just 27 percent sided with President Barack Obama and pro-abortion groups favoring abortion funding.
Republicans were opposed to funding on a 87-10 percent margin as were independent voters on a 67-26 percent margin. Democrats were split 47-47 percent on abortion funding in the health care reform legislation.
Even the President’s own party is not with him on the abortion issue – if the Democrats do ram through anything which in any way, shape or form can be classed as federal funds for abortions, then the effect will be devastating on them in November. Normally, I be confident that abortion funding is a dead letter – but our Democrats do seem bent on political suicide this year. We’ll have to see how it comes out.
As for me – go ahead, Democrats, make my day.
