Gallup poll shows, for the first time since the poll started, that \u201cPro-Life\u201d Americans outnumber \u201cPro-Infanticide\u201d ones<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Read the whole, detailed thing.\u00a0 The most interesting part to me is the crosstab on gender polling (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

A year ago, Gallup found more women calling themselves pro-choice than pro-life, by 50% to 43%, while men were more closely divided: 49% pro-choice, 46% pro-life. Now, because of heightened pro-life sentiment among both groups, women as well as men are more likely to be pro-life<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Men and women have been evenly divided on the issue in previous years; however, this is the first time in nine years of Gallup Values surveys that significantly more men and women<\/strong> are pro-life than pro-choice.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The Gender Identity feminists have long hitched their wagon to the idea that abortion is the <\/em>“women’s right”.\u00a0 Indeed, their behavior in recent years has confirmed that, given a choice between applauding (much less supporting) any other area of female achievement<\/em>, the sorts of things that real feminists throughout history would have celebrated as major victories, and supporting white, male, establishment politicians who happened to be pro-“choice” – well, there’s no suspense in that, is there?\u00a0 I’m fairly convinced that, given a choice between a pro-life woman President and a pro-infanticide white male caricature, the “feminist” “movement” today would not only take “b”, they’d do their best to destroy the woman.\u00a0 It’s hardly conjecture; it’s recent history.<\/p>\n

It’s also good news in that as the American public swings toward support for life, it’ll be less a political issue; Life has been a social-conservative litmus test issue that’s made the Republican Big Tent a contentious place for the past few decades; if we can declare victory one of these days, it’ll make that job a lot easier.<\/p>\n

And the fact is, while “victory” is years, maybe generations, away, this is the sort of thing that conservatives need to pat themselves on the back over; along with the erosion of support for Victim Disarmament, it’s a testimony to the grass-roots efforts of millions of workadaddy, hugamommy pro-lifers, winning people over one person, one ultrasound, one day at a time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
