Infographic: What we think about abortion
I received an infographic, “What we think about abortion,” from a person working for healthcare-administration-degree.net.
The ultimate goal in emailing me was to promote that degree program, which I coincidentally do think is a good career path for pro-life college students to consider, particularly in these times.
But I thought the infographic was well done and worth posting. It is as fair and balanced as the poll questions dictate.
HAD’s answer to question, “Why the difference?” was intriguing, although I think many people who say they believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases would find they actually oppose the legality of many more abortions than they realize if asked about specifics – gender-selective abortions, abortions as primary birth control, late-term abortions, abortions when babies can feel pain, etc.

Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Abortion thrives on ignorance and apathy.
This graphic is nicely done! Good work from an unbiased source — folks who are concerned about recruiting young people into a career in healthcare administration.
For the young people, this is good. Especially for pro-lifers, who are afraid that the healthcare field is overwhelmingly pro-abortion.
This is tough for the abortion industry, who insist that the world supports abortion more than this analysis indicates — no matter how you slice it!
I don’t understand the numbers in general (not just from this – but from a lot of polling).
A majority of people say they are pro-life.
A majority of people don’t want R v Wade overturned.
A majority of people believe abortion should be legal.
Do people not understand what pro-life means, or not understand what abortion is? I don’t get the disconnect.
“Do people not understand what pro-life means, or not understand what abortion is? I don’t get the disconnect. ”
It’s people who say that they don’t think criminalizing will do any good but still consider themselves anti-abortion. A lot of Democrats are like that.
A majority of people say they are pro-life.
A majority of people don’t want R v Wade overturned.
A majority of people believe abortion should be legal.
You’re forgetting a couple very important things:
A majority of people don’t want Roe v Wade overturned…BECAUSE THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT EXACTLY IT DID AND WHAT ALL IT ENTAILS.
A majority of people believe abortion should be legal…BUT WAY MORE RESTRICTED THAN IT CURRENTLY IS BY FAR.
I swear, Ex-RINO, even when you’re trying to pretend like you’re pro-life, you’re STILL towing that party line like Rosie O’Donnell after she finds a broken down Krispy Kreme truck.
As I said before, the stats are what they are because pro-abortionists THRIVE on the ignorance of the masses. They DON’T know what Roe vs. Wade is and what it did. They DON’T know how free-for-all abortion currently is in this country. Ignorance is bliss, for abortionists. At least, the ignorance of other people.
How is anything I said “towing the party line”?
“Abortion thrives on ignorance and apathy”
I don’t know if that’s true, but I don’t care either way.
Meh, so many people claim to think that abortion is a bad thing, until they or their teenagers are affected. So its a case of ‘oh it should be controlled’ and ‘oh, it should be limited’ but also ‘oh, I should be able to access it when it suits me’. Always was, always will be.
Reality says:
Always was, always will be.
Nope…. it was not like that before Roe v. Wade.
And pro-aborts are right about one thing: Education is the key. We are slowly educating the next generation to value life and to reject killing as a solution. In other words, we are restoring what was always the moral norm of this culture.
“Nope…. it was not like that before Roe v. Wade.” – its why Roe v. Wade exists.
“we are restoring what was always the moral norm of this culture.” – are you sure? Have you really thought about that? Have you considered all the implications? The truths?
idk know y people think abortion is right, there is no excuse for having abortion, rape nor incest, the child needs a chance at life
@ Hal - LOL, cute very cute.
From what I’ve read about the “disconnect” in the polling figures it’s the individual person’s fluid definition of what “pro-life vs pro-choice” means.
For instance if someone would never personally abort their child but does not feel the need (for whatever reason) to restrict abortion legally they would put pro-life for some questions and pro-‘choice’ for others. Or someone who does not support abortion except for a “rape exception”.
In other words the poll is fallible, just like any poll, and should be used as study data within the context of it’s original questions. Unfortunately our culture likes quick and easy answers (even better with flashy graphics) so both sides tout this as a victory and then fight about it viciously. Like ‘winning’ a poll ever convinced someone to “change sides”…but then again some people vote based on what the candidates look like, so maybe I am wrong in this…
BTW Ex-GOP let me congratulate you on commenting on a (semi) non political post here! :)
