THE ABORTION DECEPTION IS LOSING GROUND

Now, if we could only convince liberals that defenseless infants in their Mother's wombs are... defenseless infants...

Truth will prevail... in time...

A majority of Americans now say they oppose abortion rights, according to a Gallup poll released today. It is the first time since the polling outfit began asking the question in 1995 that a majority of Americans have held that position.

Just over half, 51%, identified themselves as pro-life when asked in the survery, “With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?”

Some 42% identified themselves as pro-choice and support abortion rights.

The results were drawn from Gallup’s annual “Values and Beliefs” survey, and mark a notable shift from just last year, when 50% said they support abortion rights and 44% said they oppose them.

Prior to the latest survey, the high mark for those who identified themselves as pro-life was 46%, in August 2001 and again in May 2002.

Gallup finds the source of the shift coming almost exclusively from Republicans, which includes independents that lean Republican. Those identifying themselves as pro-life rose by 10 points, from 60% to 70%, in one year. There has been essentially no change in views among Democrats, including independents that lean Democratic.
