More Polls Indicate a Shift toward Pro-Life Attitudes

In addition to the Gallup poll conducted in May, four other surveys, as conducted by The Polling Company, Rasmussen reports, Fox News, and Pew, have found that Americans are more “pro-life” than they are “pro-choice.” While the surveys vary in method and scope, one fact is clear: Americans are increasingly identifying with the pro-life cause.While pro-lifers find themselves in the midst of an administration opposed to their efforts, they are also finding a reason for hope. As the abortion agenda moves to the left, Americans are finding their opinions in greater contrast to abortion policy. This shift in attitudes can give us great encouragement in committing to educating those we encounter. Furthermore, now is an opportune time to invite people to invest their time and energies into advancing the pro-life cause. This increased disconnect between abortion policy and public opinion can propel us and others in our efforts to bring about a culture of life.“Never tire of firmly speaking out in defense of life from its conception and do not be deterred from the commitment to defend the dignity of every human person with courageous determination.” Pope John Paul II
