And its an NPR poll, boys and girls – from Life News:
A new poll conducted by Thomson Reuters for NPR, coming after a Gallup survey showing Americans oppose all or most abortions, finds a majority of Americans say having an abortion is wrong.
NPR asked “do you personally believe having an abortion is wrong” and 59.3 percent of Americans polled said yes compared with just 40.7 percent who said no. The youngest age category of those polled, under 35, gave the most pro-life responses with 65.5 percent saying that having an abortion is wrong…
As Lincoln said in reference to slavery – if abortion isn’t wrong, then nothing is wrong. I think this is starting to sink in – after all, you can propagandize all you like about “choice” but the fundamental fact of abortion is that it is a final solution to a temporary problem. It is just unjust – killing an innocent child because the mother and/or the father is an idiot. Let the kid live; put him or her up for adoption…but don’t kill, for crying out loud. That seems to be the growing attitude among the American people.
And do keep in mind that it took decades of relentless education to get us here. The easy way out always seems best – and back in the 70’s the easy way out of growing un-wed pregnancy seemed to be abortion. It was quick, it was easy, it was painless…and the broad majority went along with it when the Supreme Court usurped the rights of the States and of the people to regulate the practice. And, trust me, it looked like it was done, for good – that we would never get back to a nation of Life. Well, those opposed to abortion never lost heart…despite crude propaganda directed against it, the pro-life movement patiently and lovingly kept up the fight, and now the reward is being reaped.
It is probably still the work of another 20 years to get a ban on elective abortion, but its coming that way…life is, after all, a wonderful thing and every person being born is a blessing, not a curse.
