The pro-life position continues to advance – from CNS:
Sixty-one percent of American adults—including some who describe themselves as “pro-choice”—told Gallup in a survey conducted May 5-8 that abortion should be illegal in all or most circumstances…
…Only 27 percent in this year’s survey told Gallup they thought abortion should be legal under any circumstances whatsoever.
About 71 percent said they thought abortion should be illegal in at least some cases. This included 22 percent who said it should be illegal in “all circumstances,” 39 percent who said it should be legal in “only a few circumstances,” and 10 percent who said it should be legal in “most” circumstances…
As the liberal position is essentially federally-funded abortion on demand, we can see what a small minority is in favor of such a view. The basic conservative position – that abortion should be at the least heavily restricted – clearly commands a broad majority. This is the result of decades of relentless education and political action – and what is most pleasing is that younger Americans tend to be more pro-life than older (perhaps this is the realization among younger Americans that any one of them could have been aborted on the merest whim?). This battle for life is being won – but we daren’t let up for even a minute. The Culture of Death is well-funded and relentless…as soon as we turn out backs, they’ll be out there trying to undo the pro-life position.
I think it is time to turn our attention to an outright ban on third trimester abortions. It would be the fight of a decade, but it would start the ball rolling towards a constitutional ban on abortion.
