ANOTHER "BIG LIE" OF THE LEFT: PRO-LIFERS ARE "OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM"

Polls done between 2003 and 2005 constistently show that between 40%-50% of Americans think that LEGAL limitations on abortion is a good thing. In addition, another 20-25% think they should be illegal. That means 60-65-% are opposed to abortion on demand.

For example: CBS - 12/05:
38% favor unlimited abortion on demand
39% favor some limitations on abortions
20% favor no abortion
Several polls on this webpage show a majority are pro-life. Others show a 44-44% split.

If these polls are accurate - (and the number of them which show similar results makes me think they are), then it is NOTHING BUT PURE DEMAGOGUERY WHEN PRO-CHOICE ADVOCATES REFER TO PRO-LIFE JUDICIAL NOMINEES AS "OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM." This is simply another example of the Left's penchant for "THE BIG LIE."

If a person who is pro-life is out of the mainstream, then 45% of America is out of the mainstream - and that is a contradiction in terms. America is still pretty evenly on abortion rights - which is why Bush is right to follow a policy which seeks to strengthen the "culture of life" and not proceeding legislatively - yet, not until a clear majority of Americans agree that abortions should be very limited.

Those who portray Alito as out of the mainstream on this issue are distorting the facts.

  1. If you add 50% and 25%, you come up with 75% are against abortion! When you through in the word 'on-demand,' you may be surprised at how many pro-abortion people will even be against it. :)
