I’m glad for the statistics, but they are only meaningful if they decide the presidential election.

This is good news, but we must continue to educate everyone. Share “ENDOWMENT for HUMAN DEVELOPMENT” on the internet with everyone. This is a non-religious site that shows babies biological development from conception. At 8 weeks a baby is already determining right or left handedness. These are clearly human beings not puppies or kittens.

“A quarter of the American population believes abortion should be illegal in all circumstances.” That means 75% of Americans are supportive of (pro) abortion. That said, no one can convince me that these polls are accurate.

We’re making headway here thanks and praise to God. There is so much more work to do. Do not let down your efforts just for a few more percentage points–the evil one is working hard to move everything in the other direction.

People have to realize that an unborn baby is a human with potential NOT a potential human being. Pax

The hard work of many pro-lifers are paying off. Keep praying at abortion mills, keep sharing the truth about abortion and we pray that pro-life numbers continue to go up. One great way is to show teenagers the horrifying truth of what happens during an abortion, I know that it changes hearts.

Wonderful news! Perhaps we will have to settle for changing the hearts of the American people about the horror of killing babies, as we may indeed never be able to change the law. If it were as rare to kill your baby as it is to kill your grandmother, and considered by our society to be equally as as outrageous as killing anyone’s innocent child, I would say that it would finally be safe again to be conceived in America. A victory for God, and a victory for all God’s children.

They come out with these polyanna-ish polls every election time, and have been ever since I tuned in, which was about 1979.
