Americans Want Stricter Abortion Law
One can find it durprising that according
to Marist Poll 81% of Americans want stricter abortion law. A lot of
people calling themselves pro-choice also think that abortion law in
America is too liberal.
An
enormous number of 81% of respondents think that late abortion should
not be legal at all. They argue that all abortions should be limited
to the first trimester. Surprisingly, such a solution is supported by
66% of people who are pro-choice.
Moreover,
three quarters of respondents (77% of all people asked, including 79%
of women and 71% who are pro-choice) think that mothers and unborn
babies should get equal protection. It shows that majority of
Americans consider life of the mother not more important than life of
her unborn child.
Besides,
majority (60%) of respondents said that killing of unborn babies is
immoral. It shows that there is no widespread acceptance of abortion
in America.
Additionally,
70% of respondents claim that taxpayers should not pay for abortions.
It is because people should not be forced to fund procedures of
abortion which they consider to be immoral.
What
more, majority of respondents think that doctors and other medical
staff should have a right to refuse participation in procedures of
abortion.
