On Friday, the Associated Press released a poll on abortion attitudes they conducted in mid-June with the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

Live Action reports:

The survey results contain good news for pro-lifers, indicating that 65% of Americans think that second trimester abortions should be “illegal in all or most cases.” Similarly, the poll also found that 80% of Americans think that third trimester abortions should be illegal “in all or most cases.”

The results of this poll are broadly consistent with other surveys which show that strong majorities of Americans oppose abortion after the first trimester.

The demographic breakdown of the results was interesting. The poll found strong opposition to second and third trimester abortions across a wide range of demographic groups. In fact, self-identified Democrats and those who identified as “non-religious” were the only two demographic groups in which a majority of respondents thought that second trimester abortions should be “legal in all or most circumstances.” Majorities of independents, Republicans, Evangelical Christians, and those from other religions opposed second trimester abortions. Additionally, when it comes to third trimester abortions, strong majorities of all demographic groups surveyed — including Democrats and the non-religious — thought third trimester abortions should be illegal “in all or most cases.”

How could anyone with a heart kill the new born babies.? Aborting a baby is so wrong. There are so many things out there to keep from getting pregnant. But getting an abortion now a days is so easy. It needs to be made harder for these heartless people to just kill the babies they enjoyed making but not excepting, knowing they could just dispose of what they made
