Gallup Poll: Majority of Americans Pro-Life on Abortion, Highest Levels in 15 Years

Washington, DC -- A new Gallup poll shows that the majority of Americans self-identify as pro-life on the issue of abortion for the first time in 15 years. The Gallup survey shows the percentage of Americans saying they are pro-life at its highest point since 1995 and those saying they are "pro-choice" at its lowest.

The Gallup survey, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves pro-life and just 42 percent saying they are "pro-choice" and supporting legal abortions.

If the question is asked honestly, this is the result.

There is just no way around the FACTS that babies growing in utero are LIVING and HUMAN.

If you want to understand the abortionists, learn about the slavers.

The parallels are startling.

[Servant of the Cross]

Yes. It's a FACT that science shows us LIVING and HUMAN babies in the womb.

Do you trust Gallop Poll? You shouldn’t.

I submit that perhaps more people are now “anti-abortion” as oppposed to “pro-life”. Big difference. Unfortunately, most people don’t know the difference due to social engineering.

Obama and Pelosi are deeply saddened and promise to work hard to bring those numbers down, according to Obama, “This is NOT the change we need!” Democrats are drafting a 100 Billion dollar Planned Parenthood stimulus package to increase the publics awareness about the wonders of abortion. According to Pelosi, “I will work my heart out to get that number down as quickly as possibly, even if it means water-boarding every Gallup executive in the process.”

... Add this to the fact that most people are against gay marriage too.

Yet the “moderates” in the GOP want us to surrender these values to become a bigger tent.

How is that... if the majority are on our side?

In the last month leading up to the election, and in the presidential debates, how much time did McCain spend on telling the American people just how much of an abortion extremist Obama is? That he never saw a baby he didn’t want to kill, including those born alive?

Maybe about five minutes?

The media sat on this dirty little secret, and McCain sat on it, too. A lot of Catholics, Evangelicals, and others of good will voted for Obama because they didn’t understand what kind of a killer he is.
