New Poll Finds Americans Opposing Abortion...

Praised be Jesus and Mary!

As the both the Pro-Life March and Obama's inauguration approaches, the fight for life is starting to heat up. It would appear from the last election that abortion was not the main issue on American's minds, otherwise a different man would be taking office.

Yet, according to a recent poll, the majority of Americans favor some sort of limitations or laws against abortion. Those two facts don't seem to match up; the electing of Obama and the favor of laws against abortion. For Obama is intent on satisfying Planned Parenthood by opening the flood gates of abortion in order to make it available for anyone who wants it: Abortion on Demand.

Consequently, we have to ask ourselves, who is running the country, the "people" or only those "in charge"; the so-called "experts," who know what is right for us. The more and more that I live in this United States of America, I begin to believe that our government which exists "for the people" is not run "by the people" but only by those who have the most money and conform to the "politically correct" agenda.

The people have lost control; how can we regain it?

Anyway, here is the recent poll that shows that the people really do oppose Abortion:

WASHINGTON (BP)--More than 80 percent of Americans believe abortion should be either prohibited or limited, according to a new survey.

The poll of U.S. adults shows 11 percent support a total ban on abortion, 38 percent favor restricting abortion to cases of rape, incest or a threat to the life of the mother and 33 percent endorse limiting the procedure to the first three or six months of pregnancy. Nine percent favored unlimited abortion rights throughout pregnancy

The online poll of 2,341 adults, commissioned by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and conducted Dec. 10-12 by Harris Interactive, also found strong majorities favor specific laws limiting abortion. The data was weighted to be representative of the U.S. population. Among the findings:

-- 88 percent support informed consent laws, which require abortion providers to inform mothers of possible risks to their health and of abortion alternatives.

-- 76 percent back laws that protect health-care providers from being required to perform abortions or to refer women to doctors who will conduct the procedures.

-- 73 percent favor laws requiring parental involvement in a minor's abortion.

-- 63 percent support laws banning the use of government funds to pay for abortions.

A USCCB official described the results as "remarkable."

"Support for these measures cuts across 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice' positions," said Deidre McQuade, assistant director for policy and communications with the USCCB's Secretariat of Pro-life Activities. Even 35 percent of those who favored unlimited abortion rights supported at least three of the six abortion-restrictive laws presented to respondents in the survey, she said.

"This research indicates how out of touch pro-abortion groups are with mainstream America," McQuade said.
