Significant majorities of Americans oppose the use of tax dollars to fund abortions and want the U.S. Supreme Court to rule in favor of abortion restrictions, according to a new Marist Poll sponsored by the Knights of Columbus.
Americans overwhelmingly oppose the use of tax dollars to support abortion in other countries (83 percent). More than six in 10 Americans (61 percent) also oppose the use of tax dollars to fund abortions in the United States. This includes almost nine in 10 Trump supporters (87 percent) and even nearly four in 10 Clinton supporters (39 percent).
The poll demonstrates that there is a clear bi-partisan consensus on limiting abortion to – at most – the first trimester, with a majority of Clinton supporters (55 percent) and more than nine in 10 Trump supporters (91 percent) saying they support such limits.
Among Americans overall, nearly three-quarters (74 percent) want abortion restricted to, at most, the first trimester. Among those who want restrictions, 74 percent want the Supreme Court to rule in favor of those restrictions. This equates to about 55 percent of Americans who support such action by the court.
In fact, nearly six in 10 (59 percent) say it is either an immediate priority (34 percent), or is an important one (25 percent), to limit abortion to the first trimester. This includes 78 percent of Republicans and almost half of Democrats (47 percent). Even among those who identify as pro-choice, more than four in 10 say restricting abortion is an immediate priority or important (44 percent).

Of course they do. The issue is not the “will” of taxpayers, it is finding politicians with any courage. Like Catholic bishops, American politicians are very changeable, very happy to follow whatever is perceived as “comfortable” and promises easy chicken dinners.
The wonder of President Donald Trump is that he is a man, and acts like it. He stands up; he does what he says; and he happily explains why he actually, truly did what he said. No checking polls like the Clintons, no waiting to please the King, like nervous Nancy-Boy bishops; nope, President Trump is a leader. He has already stopped abortions by NGOs. Abortion is lawful because of the cowardice of American bishops.
This a spiritual battle for hearts and minds – and most importantly, souls. There will always be abortion fanatics to defend this horrific practice, but just as slave owners are now largely reviled, such will be the fate of these modern day miscreants. Pray for the conversion of sinners.
I do not know one single truly Roman Catholic that is in favor of pro-death/infanticide/abortion.
The banner in the picture “Abortion HURTS Women”. Considering that percentage wise that approximately 49% of infants are little girls based on their genetilia, Then 49% of the murdered babies are little Women. Since in most every abortion, one of the two patients dies, and occasionally the mother dies or goes through some trauma, the slogan on the banner is absolutely certain.
