I wonder if they counted the Todd-Aiken-bashers on FR. :-/

The Left continues to divide us over the exceptions, which represent under 4% of the abortions performed. My belief is that we can all agree to criminalize the 96% and then discuss the other 4%.

Of course none of those people are supposed to exist in New York.

then discuss the other 4%.

That's the problem. Unless you are pro-choice, you aren't allowed to even talk about abortion because you hate women.

Going to the CNN article being discussed, it says:
According to the poll, 27% say that abortion should be legal in all circumstances, 13% say it should be legal in most circumstances, 38% say that it should be legal in few circumstances, and 20% say abortion should always be illegal.
So you would be able to get 58% support for making abortion less easy to get, but only 20% support for banning it entirely.

Meanwhile, later it has:

Most Americans have never favored using public funds for abortions for women who cannot afford them. According to the survey, 56% remain opposed, with only 39% favoring public funding for abortions.

But that sentiment does not appear to extend to government subsidies for health insurance. The poll indicates the public is split right down the middle, with 49% saying that women who receive government subsidies for health insurance should be able to get a plan that covers abortion services and an identical 49% disagreeing.

The other 42% are murderers or murderer-sympathizers.

Abortion is murder and anyone performing, accepting, and supporting murder should be held accountable as well.

“few instances” usually includes life of the mother which is rarely an issue today but the murderers don’t let people know.

If someone asks you a question about abortion, is that person more likely to be for or against abortion? Probably against it. The “for” people really don’t care about the statistics. So, many people will just give what they perceive to be the easy answer and say that they are against it. The voting results give you the answer about how people feel about abortion.

Aiken is a vain fool, Governor Palin and the tea party tried to get him to withdraw and not cost us a seat, but his vanity made him personally responsible for creating a democrat senator.

Palin was right.

We can almost leave this issue alone and trust the instincts and hearts of people seeing ultrasounds. If you fight to make it illegal, go ahead, but the more important war is the hearts and minds. And it is happening, year by year.

I do think more education is needed in the black community. A lot of people don’t know about Margaret Sanger. White people aren’t killing blacks in large numbers, blacks are killing their own unborn in large numbers, they need more info about the racism of planned parenthood.

Seats guarantee nothing - or haven't you noticed? What is needed are men who will get up off their seats and fight for those unable to fight for themselves.

Cowardice cost Aiken the election. But the cowardice was on our part, not his.

Palin was right, and the results proved her out.

Conservatives didn’t betray you, so you don’t need to gratuitously attack them on threads, for an old election result which pro-life conservatives predicted.

If you remember, he was Michelle Bachmann and Huckabee’s choice, as the tea party and Palin chose others, and Bachmann totally went silent on the guy.

You go ahead and root for your pro-life(TM) candidates. For me, I’ll stick by those who are anti-abortion.

Yours might get elected, but they’ll do nothing while in office to stop the murder of babies. Mine might not get elected, but no one can call them liars, hypocrites, cowards, and abortion-enablers.

The voting results give you the answer about how people feel about abortion.

And, the results at the state level indicate a record number of pro-life laws being passed over the past two years, many of which are resulting in abortion clinics shutting down.

Indeed. And given the state of mind among many “conservatives”, it’s no wonder that, in spite of so many pro-life(TM) electoral victories, abortion is still outpacing all other forms of death.
