To favor monogamous, heterosexual marriage and to oppose the killing of the unborn makes one a neanderthal in todays society.
Geez, really! This is the majority view in the United States. Why would you characterize "today's society" as holding the opposite view? Have the elite so subverted you?

If this is true, and I don’t doubt it is, then the bursting of the higher education bubble will be a pro-life event by greatly reducing the number of new indoctrinees (or would that be propagandees?) and throwing leftists out of work.

Actually, I became totally pro-life in college.(*)
And I recently finished grad school. Still pro-life.
(*)I remember reading back then (early 80s) that the most vocal supporters of abortion were actually teen males. Figures, of course, that they were figuring that they needed a way out of a bad predicament should they ever actually get a girlfriend.

No surprise that the most important finding from the survey was left out. Americans have become more pro-life over the last few years. This is the most significant trend, including those with graduate degrees.
The internals:
Survey Methods Results for this Gallup poll are based on telephone interviews conducted May 3-6, 2012 with a random sample of 1,024 adults, aged 18 and older, living in all 50 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
For results based on the total sample of national adults, one can say with 95% confidence that the maximum margin of sampling error is ±4 percentage points.
Interviews are conducted with respondents on landline telephones and cellular phones, with interviews conducted in Spanish for respondents who are primarily Spanish-speaking. Each sample includes a minimum quota of 400 cell phone respondents and 600 landline respondents per 1,000 national adults, with additional minimum quotas among landline respondents by region. Landline telephone numbers are chosen at random among listed telephone numbers. Cell phone numbers are selected using random-digit-dial methods. Landline respondents are chosen at random within each household on the basis of which member had the most recent birthday.
Samples are weighted by gender, age, race, Hispanic ethnicity, education, region, adults in the household, and phone status (cell phone only/landline only/both, cell phone mostly, and having an unlisted landline number). Demographic weighting targets are based on the March 2011 Current Population Survey figures for the aged 18 and older non-institutionalized population living in U.S. telephone households. All reported margins of sampling error include the computed design effects for weighting and sample design.

I don't know about that particular group; the Komen organization gives plenty of money to PP.

Perhaps I should have specified that these ideas are perpetuated by Hollywood and the media. I’m not sure it is the majority view, but this is generally the direction of the modern culture. We’re trending in the wrong direction.
To: Clint N. Suhks
Here are some other facts they learned from the survey. The longer you are in school, the more likely you are to...
be unable to change a tire
attend Burning Man or SXSW
wear second-hand clothing
be killed in an automobile-bicycle collision
not shave your legs (if female)
shave your chest (if male)
go dumpster diving
be beaten or pepper sprayed by riot police
be awesome at hacky sack
