Poll: Voters back abortion rights, funding for Planned Parenthood

Source: MSN/The Hill

A majority of Americans oppose cutting funding of Planned Parenthood and support the Supreme Court's decision in Roe v. Wade to legalize abortion, according to a new poll released Friday.

Sixty-two percent of voters oppose cutting Planned Parenthood's funding, while 31 percent are in favor of doing so, the Quinnipiac University poll found.

And 70 percent of Americans support Roe v. Wade, while 26 percent disagree with the court's decision.

In a question giving voters four options on abortion, nine percent said it should be illegal in all cases, while 28 percent said it should be legal in all cases. Thirty-six percent said abortion should be legal in most cases, while 22 percent said it should be illegal in most cases.

They would much rather have those things to fund raise against than actually face the rage of a majority of Americans for destroying them.

These self-righteous hypocrites, who want to exert THEIR mixed up beliefs on to EVERYONE ELSE, make me sick.

The one such pompous wench was on NPR last night, singing the praises of pence and der Gropenfuhrer; and gleefully wetting their depends with having control of Congress and and empty brainiac cavity in the White House. These disgusting bitches make me see red.

Don't want an abortion? Then don't fucking get one! Put your energy into providing contraception and family planning to cut down on the thousands of unwanted pregnancies. Spend your wasted energy on early pregnancy termination access. Such sick, twisted perverts.

Her claims were all bullshit, except the fact the pro-lifers now control ALL branches of government, and there are plenty of stupid KKKristians willing to be bused in to D.C. For the religious pilgrimage to show they care about making decisions for EVERYONE....not just themselves. Stupid bitches.

So:

[div style="display:inline; font-size:1.37em; font-family:monospace; white-space:pre;"]illegal illegal legal legal || illegal legal
[div style="display:inline; font-size:1.37em; font-family:monospace; white-space:pre;"]in all in most in most in all || in most or in most or
[div style="display:inline; font-size:1.37em; font-family:monospace; white-space:pre;"]cases cases cases cases || all cases all cases
[div style="display:inline; font-size:1.37em; font-family:monospace; white-space:pre;"]======= ======= ======= ====== || ========= =========
[div style="display:inline; font-size:1.37em; font-family:monospace; white-space:pre;"] 9% 22% 36% 28% || 31% 64%


A more than 2:1 margin of "legal in most or all cases" over "illegal in most or all cases"

Because the other side sure does. And until the pro-rights people get control of CONgress, the Presidency and state legislatures, the Anti-rights folks will keep winning.
