America's
Pro-Life Shift
January, 2003
Despite 30 years of legal access to abortion and hundreds
of millions abortion advocacy dollars, America is becoming
increasingly pro-life. Recent polling data represents
a marked pro-life shift.
-
A Wirthlin poll released last week reported 68 percent
of respondents support "restoring legal protection
for unborn children."
-
66 percent favor nominees to the Supreme Court "who
would uphold laws that restore legal protection to unborn
children."
-
67.4 percent told Zogby that “if a relative or
close friend told you she was pregnant and wanted to
get an abortion” they would either “tell her
abortion is wrong” (32.7 percent) or advise against
her decision (34.7 percent). Only 19.1 percent would
advise her to go ahead “if she thinks it is right.”
Continued:
-
70% told a USA Today/CNN/Gallup poll that partial-birth
abortion should be outlawed.
-
78% back a mandatory 24-hour waiting period for all
abortions.
-
73% supported parental consent for girls under 18.
-
88% favor a law directing doctors to inform patients
of alternatives to abortion before it is performed.
Abortion advocates will not support any of these positions.
This data and their unwillingness to support even the
slightest of regulations shows that they are out of touch
with mainstream America and are in danger of becoming
a fringe element. This shift has occurred in part due
to the destructive human price women have had to pay for
abortion, the barbaric nature of abortion itself, and
the self-evident humanity of unborn children manifested
by ultra sound technology and pro-life education. The
pro-life shift is now affecting the political process
with the election of a pro-life House, Senate and President.
Nevada LIFE believes that this suggests that Roe will
eventually be overthrown and legal protection extended
to all human beings, whether born or unborn.
