Thanks to Team Rape, Most Americans Consider Themselves Pro-Choice Again
LatestJust six months ago, a Gallup poll found that the number of people who call themselves “pro-choice” was only 41%, a record low. Many conservatives gleefully championed the study as evidence that scores of youngins were becoming radically invested in the anti-abortion movement, while others thought the poll was more indicative of the problems with the terms “pro-choice” and “pro-life,” since few non-psychopaths are actually ANTI-life (which is why it’s so frustrating that anti-choicers get away with using that moniker), and most people surveyed didn’t actually want to overturn Roe v. Wade, even if they felt more comfortable identifying with the pro-life camp.
Not that it’s a competition (JK, it is), but more recent polls show that the Personhood brigade was counting its embryos before they hatched: the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey of “Likely U.S. Voters” shows that 54% describe themselves as pro-choice on the issue of abortion, while 38% say they are pro-life.
