Poll: 63% oppose overturning Roe v. Wade

White evangelical Protestants are the only major religious group in which a majority (54%) favors completely overturning the Roe v. Wade decision. Large percentages of white mainline Protestants (76%), black Protestants (65%) and white Catholics (63%) say the ruling should not be overturned. Fully 82% of the religiously unaffiliated oppose overturning Roe v. Wade.

Half of Americans who attend religious services at least weekly favor completely overturning the Roe v. Wade decision, compared with just 17% of those who attend less often.

Republicans are evenly divided over whether the ruling should be overturned: 46% say it should, while 48% say it should not. By wide margins, Democrats (74% to 20%) and independents (64% to 28%) oppose overturning Roe v. Wade.

There is no gender gap in opinions about Roe v. Wade: Nearly identical percentages of women (64%) and men (63%) oppose reversing the decision.

I oppose overturning Roe v Wade for one major reason:

The number of liberals alive today is vastly smaller than it would have been, otherwise.

If liberals are in it to win, then so am I. Let them abort themselves into oblivion while we fight the only effective mechanism they have to propagate their ideology: the public school system.

That’s based on a huge gamble; that the resultant babies born will all turn out to be conservative. Where’d you think half of these liberals came from?

How much progress have you made against that?

Or for that matter on immigration?

See, here’s the thing: they can abort to their dark heart’s content so long as they can bring in more poor brown welfare recipients and subsidize breeding.

Merely replace the word “abortion” with the word “Auschwitz” and all the pro-death promotional weasel-word-sters become revealed for what they are: holocaust pimps.

Because Holocaust was about the Jewish mothers aborting. I’ve seen some absurd Holocaust allegorisms for political purposes but this one takes the cake.

Your support for the mass murder of millions of unborn children is a holocaust. They could not defend themselves, but you sent them to be murdered anyway.

Part of the holocaust was the defenseless Jewish mothers having their babies aborted before they themselves were killed for their own good and for experimentation purposes. All under the guise of privacy convenience. “Better off dead” as the Nazis used to say.

Poor imbecile Losester. He belongs over on the wacky Dude thread making love to his couch.
