Quote of the day: Pro-life position more popular than media claims

Since the election, a number of mainstream media outlets have noted that Donald Trump trailed Hillary Clinton in the final popular-vote tally, and they have also tried to make the case that his policy positions are unpopular with the American people….

The reporting on abortion has been especially misleading….

… [I]t is important to note that the results of abortion surveys often vary quite a bit depending on the research organization conducting the survey, and people can be sensitive to the specific question wording that is used. In contrast to the Quinnipiac numbers, Gallup surveys consistently indicate that well over 50 percent of Americans think abortion should either be “legal in a few circumstances” or “illegal in all circumstances.” Overall, there is little evidence that attitudes toward abortion changed significantly in 2016….

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

Trump and his transition team should uphold their other campaign promises on sanctity-of-life issues — and not be misled by the media’s spinning of limited polling data.
