20-Week Abortion Bans Enjoy Broad Support

I would hope so. That's 5 freaking months.
 
20 weeks?.....may as well allow 20 week post birth abortions.....oh wait...that would be icky, but acceptable to libs i'm sure, because afterall, they oppose wars and killing and shit like that.....

Last Thursday, Rasmussen released a poll showing that 44 percent of likely U.S. voters support banning abortions after 20 weeks of gestation. Only 41 percent were opposed to such a ban. During the debate in Texas over HB2, many mainstream-media outlets tried to spin such laws as unpopular and extreme. However, there is a growing body of survey data indicating that these measures are fairly popular. This is the second poll in less than a month that finds 20-week abortion bans enjoy plurality support. A June poll commissioned by National Journal finds that Americans favor such a ban by a 48–44 percent margin.

Does that mean support is falling? Any month now, could support be equal for the 2 positions? It's already statistically equal.
 
I wonder how the polls were phrased? Because I am wondering if some of the opposition might even be from people who don't think it's enough.

And the ones who don't know how developed a baby is by 20 weeks...

See, I have no answer for that. If you cannot see the evil in murdering a child, then I just don't know what I can say to you. All I can do is pray that you open your heart to the love of the Holy Spirit and turn your back on the devil.

Have to admit, can't beat that logic.

Obama is killing kids with drones in the Middle East? So what?
 
The polling is very depressing and shows America's scientific illiteracy is dangerous.

a 20-week old fetus is not significantly different from a fetus at 16 weeks. It can not survive outside the womb on its own, it does not have self-awareness in any sense and it doesn't feel pain. (or at least, there's no concrete evidence it can feel pain)

If there absolutely must be an arbitrary cut-off point for abortion, then it should be 28 weeks, when a normal/healthy fetus would survive anywhere on the globe. Even still, it sickens me to think the Almighty State will be determining this, and not individual doctors. (whose medical opinion do you want, your doctor or the government?)

Every time you comment on abortion it sickens me.

Our resident drive by troll! "Well it should definitely be ok to kill your baby when you're 5 months along, but not 7." And that makes perfect sense to him, no doubt. People who support abortion are mentally ill. That's the only thing that explains it. And there's something seriously wrong with some who waits until they're 5 months along. That's obscene.

This is what evil looks like. Teaching girls that babies are a burden, and it's better to kill them. Refusing to allow mandated sonograms because women change their minds when they see the pictures. Why on Earth would someone want to be sure that a woman didn't change her mind? Because they're evil.

One of the legitimate functions of the state is to protect life.

Me too.

I remember him saying once that abortion should be used more often as a crime prevention method. Abort the children of the poor to lower crime rates.

These polls don't seem all that encouraging to me. Far more than 44-48% of the population should be in favor of banning abortion after five months. How can anyone think that five months isn't long enough to decide whether to have an abortion or not?
