Are Most Americans Really 'Pro-Life'?

"The anti-choice movement may be winning on labels, but they’re losing on the issues".

"While the decreasing number of Americans who call themselves pro-choice is disheartening to hear—we’re one percentage point lower then the previous record low in 2009—only 20 percent of people polled think abortion should be illegal across the board. Fifty-two percent believe abortion should be legal in some circumstances, and 25 percent believe it should be legal in all cases. And when the polling questions are more nuanced than a simple dichotomous pro-choice/pro-life identification, the answers people give tell a much different story".

are we experiencing that good 'ol American bandwagon just to be a part of anything movement?

"I’m still optimistic. More Americans are taking action and more women are telling their stories of how anti-choice laws negatively affect themselves, their lives and their families. In much the same way polls shouldn’t tell a black-and-white story, our activism shouldn’t either. So perhaps it doesn’t matter if most Americans identify as pro-choice—as long as our activism and votes continue to support women, their health and rights".

we keep harping this BS about we need leaders, leaders to what that which we know we want but kinda need some overpayed, over perked butt to reconfirm it for us? we deserve what we are getting if we continue on the path of eny,meny,miny,moe elections. we are not number 1 we are at the bottom of the barrel in almost everything worldwide. that does not happen because of politicians that care and nurture this country it come from total reliance on some SOB we don't know to be entrusted with our and our families lives, how stupid is that. these third world countries we have looked down on are smarter about their welfare then we are, Arab Spring, and all the other springs here we just have Springtime. please click title
