It is all about taking away a woman's reproductive freedom.
At least if the poll that conservative website Newsmax.com reported on Friday is truly reflective of the land. A caveat is that the poll was paid for by the Knights of Columbus, a Roman Catholic men's organization, I used to play in their softball league, real pillars of the community but still, very, very much part of the hierarchy of the church, and Marist University, also on Team Vatican, anyhow, the poll mirrored findings of other recent surveys, showing that more Americans identify as pro-life than as pro-choice, and that the vast majority of Americans favor restricting abortion.
Before we get too smug here in Canada, bear in mind that one of our provinces doesn't have any abortion providers, so, pot, meet kettle.
86% of Americans would significantly restrict abortion and 60% of Americans would limit abortion to cases of rape, incest or to save the life of a mother.
Most remarkable to moi is the fact that since the election of the more liberal than the other guy, Barack Obama, as President, more people identify with the pro life side of the debate than before.
