Majority of Americans, and Nearly 6 in 10 Young Adults, View Abortion as Morally Wrong

Poll finds 56% of all Americans and 58% of those 18-29 years old say abortion 'morally wrong'

The article:

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Jan. 21 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- On the eve of the 37th anniversary of the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion throughout the United States, a new survey shows a strong majority of Americans believe abortion to be "morally wrong."

"Millennials" (those 18-29) consider abortion to be "morally wrong" even more (58%) than Baby Boomers (those 45-64) (51%). Generation X (those 30-44) are similar to Millennials (60% see abortion as "morally wrong"). More than 6 in 10 of the Greatest Generation (those 65+) feel the same.

The most recent Knights of Columbus – Marist survey – conducted in late December and early January – is the latest in a series of such surveys commissioned by the Knights of Columbus and conducted by Marist Institute for Public Opinion. In October of 2008 and July of 2009, the survey has

been tracking an increasing trend toward the pro-life position – a trend confirmed by Gallup and Pew surveys in mid-2009. K of C – Marist surveys are available online at www.kofc.org/moralcompass.

"Americans of all ages – and younger people in even greater numbers than their parents – see abortion as something morally wrong," said Supreme Knight Carl Anderson. "America has turned a corner and is embracing life – and in doing so is embracing a future they – and all of us – can be proud of."

He added: "Advances in technology show clearly – and ever more clearly – that an unborn child is completely a human being. That, coupled with the large number of Americans who know one of the many people who has been negatively affected by abortion are certainly two of the reasons that Americans are increasingly uncomfortable with Roe v. Wade's legacy of abortion, and with abortion generally. The majority of Americans now understand that abortion has consequences, and that those consequences are not good."

The question on abortion was part of a larger survey, which will be released in the next several days.

This report presents the findings from a survey of 2,243 Americans -- including an oversample of 1,006 Millennials. Reports for Americans have a margin of error of +/-2% and for Millennials it is +/-3%. Data were collected from December 23, 2009 through January 4, 2010 using an online, probability-based panel from Knowledge Networks, Inc. Additional information is available at www.kofc.org. Data on the polls commissioned by the Knights of Columbus are available at www.kofc.org/moralcompass.

it doesn matter what the public wants, it only matters what the Marxists want.

Roe said she was fooled into the legal process, no one cares, the Supreme Court won't open another hearing like they do on everything else.

[Hugh B]

Deep inside of each of us we all know that abortion is the taking of another innocent human life. So why should we be suprised that a greater number of people are willing to admit to it?

[The Doctor]

Those on one side continue to take action to maintain the holds at the legal level. If those on the other side don't apply pressure on their legislators, the polls will be a bit like this:
that and 75 cents will get ya a copy of the paper.

[maintenanceguy]

I also believe abortion to be morally wrong but I'm skeptical of a pole conducted by a group that very strongly considers it to be morally wrong too.

This is America! = Pro Choice!

[bwalley]

This is America! = Pro Choice!

Pro Choice = Killing of baby's, so it appears, America = Baby Killer.

Not something we should allow or be happy about.

[coolwhip]

Doesnt matter, and its none of your business. Its up to the mother to choose and she has the right!....because this is America! and its about the peoples freedom.
Keep religion out of the equation...it only clouds ones thoughts and makes one bias.

Personally, I do not prefer the choice...then again, Im not a woman. I support it fully in such cases as incest and rape though.

Instead of trying to suppress this right to women, support planned parenthood classes that should be mandatory in all schools, public and private.

Daytona, you havnt moved yet?

Are you going to cry to the moderators again....what a wuss!:patriot:

[bootlen]

Exactly. A REAL man CHOOSES to keep his horse in the stall and a REAL lady CHOOSES to keep her knees together rather than kill a baby.

THAT, my friend, is pro-choice.

[bootlen]

Daytona, you havnt moved yet?

Are you going to cry to the moderators again....what a puss!:patriot:

Firstly, this is indeed name-calling which is not allowed and you are walking a rail is it is.

Secondly, truth hurts. Take it like a man.

[daytonafan]

Daytona, you havnt moved yet?

Are you going to cry to the moderators again....what a puss!:patriot:

I have no idea what this means. I wouldn't know how to cry to a moderator. I guess if you can't intelligently or logically debate me, call me names. Sounds like a liberal tactic.

When did I bring religion into it? Seems to me that personal responsibility goes along way. You seem to rant about that alot but only when it fits your idea of "Free" America. You do not get to decide who lives and dies. You do not get to decide who gets to become a citizen of this country. Keep telling yourself that you support "women's rights" while at the same time calling other human beings who aren't the same color as you "cockroaches". Ride both sides of that fence coolwhip.

Your infantile name calling only makes me laugh and strengthens my resolve.

[geerair]

Exactly. A REAL man CHOOSES to keep his horse in the stall and a REAL lady CHOOSES to keep her knees together rather than kill a baby.

THAT, my friend, is pro-choice.So you never had premarital sex?

[timebuilder]

This is America! = Pro Choice!

Well, without the exclamation points, we are intended by the founders to be a nation of laws, built upon the idea that our rights come from our Creator. These are "moral rights." We mistakenly call them "civil rights."

We do not have the "choice" to go next door and kill our neighbor because his existence in inconvenient to us.

And, we believe that it was wrong for the 9-11 terrorists to come and kill innocent people.

So, why does the killing of innocent humans by abortion represent an "American" value?

The truth is, abortion represents a tyranny of those who have the power to kill over those who have no voice to protest against it.

I do support women's rights. I just believe it is morally wrong and I envision a country where people exercise responsibility and live up to the decisions they make. Doesn't seem that radical to me. Seems to me like the ultimate show of respect for a woman would be to keep one's weenie in one's pants untill you are strong enough to be a father. Gutless wimps make babies with women they neither love nor respect. Then, chest pounding political loudmouths like you cry about choice while at the same time calling the children that are alive "cockroaches". Do they have a "choice" coolwhip? Who speaks for them? You are a real humanitarian my friend, as long as YOU get to decide who lives and who doesn't.

[timebuilder]

So you never had premarital sex?

I did, and I risked becoming and instant father. In my youth, there was a great liberalism that swept the nation, and we were taught that this was just a "blob of cells." Now, we know much more, and we can see the beating heart.

Had that unplanned pregnancy happened to me, it would have been wrong of me to have a part in an abortion, and it would also have been wrong for the girl to have one. We need to struggle to be the "real men" mentioned in that post.

IMHO, we are to struggle against the easy way out.

In Matthew 7, Jesus said 13 “Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. 14 Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.

[Special Ed]

the Pro-Life position is clearly supported by the U.S. Constitution - does it not say "... life, liberty & the pursuit of happiness...."? So, obviously, the Founders would never have approved of making abortion legal & neither does the Constitution. The reason the Supreme Court made it legal was 1) it isn't specifically by both medical & legal terms mentioned in the Constitution (although the word "life" is), & 2) because the Court at that time was obviously more liberal-leaning &, quite frankly, based their decision on what they "felt" was right rather than what is right according to the Constitution. The Supreme Court's job is to interpret the Constitution, not to re-define it or re-form it as they arbitrarily see fit, or to even legislate as they most certainly did with that woefully inexcusable decision.

In short, there is absolutely no support in the Constitution for the decision they made. It really doesn't matter what the morality of abortion is to the Constitution.

[daytonafan]

So you never had premarital sex?

Geer, what does that have to do with anything? I certainly did. With a woman I cared deeply for and had the upmost respect for. We have a beautiful 13 year old honor student as a result of my actions. I guess some people act like men and others are gutless wimps who run to mommy and daddy everytime something doesn't go their way. Geerair, self proclaimed CEO of the company that gets to decide who lives and who dies.

Wow, I am against military action of any kind (unless a Dem starts the war) but I have no problem with the convenience killing of millions of my fellow humans.

And yet another pointless post.

Money, not morality is the principle commerce of civilized nations.

I think with my head and not my heart. I do not and will never support those that I think are a burden to humanity and of inferior genetic design.

Its people like these, and you that make the world a mess!

[bootlen]

So you never had premarital sex?

Oh, yeah. Back when I was stupid. Again...what's your point?

[timebuilder]

Money, not morality is the principle commerce of civilized nations.

Don't forget the reason:

this is a fallen world.

[coolwhip]

Don't forget the reason:

The world is not fallen....just man, and he has always been this way and will continue to do so until there is nothing left.

[geerair]

Oh, yeah. Back when I was stupid. Again...what's your point?So you allowed yourself choice but do not allow others choice.

In other words the operative phrase for you is Do as I say, not as I do.

[bootlen]

The world is not fallen....just man, and he has always been this way and will continue to do so until there is nothing left.

AH! So! We ARE devolving and not evolving.

[coolwhip]

AH! So! We ARE devolving and not evolving.

I like to think that some are evolving so to speak, but most are not. Its the some that we need to care for...as for the others..the four horseman can take care of them.

[bootlen]

I like to think that some are evolving so to speak, but most are not.

Your Aryanism is showing.

The world is not fallen....just man, and he has always been this way and will continue to do so until there is nothing left.

Man is the principle aspect of this world, and it is his fate, and not the earth, that is the concern of God as expressed in his word. The world as we know it is eventually destroyed. This does not happen at Armageddon as is often believed, but literally, at a point in the future where the earth become inhabitable, and we are taken to a new earth.

This is made clear in Revelation, and the judgment of the Seven Trumpets.

What do you do to your lawn when its starting to be over taken by weeds?

How does one get a prize winning rose?

How do we get a thorough bred race horse?

I actually feel bad that someone of my "inferior genetic design" is messing this world up for you.

I wish you success in business and all that you do

In order to have a rose that wins a prize, you must, by definition, have some "lesser" roses to compare it to.

We all ready know and have many samples to go by.

[timebuilder]

The reason I mention that is to show a reason why God has made such a diverse creation, and why not all genetics seem "optimal" to us. Of course, He may, and likely DOES have additional reasons for the diversity of His creation.
