SOUTH EUCLID, Ohio,
March 24, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The
Human Family Research Center, a nonprofit human rights
organization, today released a national poll regarding the views of
Americans on whether or not Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court
decision that legalized abortion, should be reconsidered.
The poll found that Americans are much more evenly divided on
the issue than recent surveys, such as those conducted by PEW and
Gallup, indictated. Those polls claim an almost 70% support
rate among the public for Roe. The HFRC poll found that,
when participants were made aware that an overruling would not lead
to outlawing abortion outright, but would instead return the issue
to the states,
(http://humanfamilyresearch.org/Post-Roe_Map2016.pdf) fewer than
half of poll participants supported Roe, while the number of
those demanding change increased substantially. Unlike prior
polls, the HFRC poll explained what Roe actually said before
asking questions of participants, all registered voters. The
result does make sense since other polls also show that a majority
of Americans oppose many of the abortions Roe allows.
"Roe is a highly unusual decision because it has caused a
massive amount of confusion in the 44 years since it was decided in
1973. It has taken no less than 36 cases for the Supreme Court
to explain Roe," according to Denise
Mackura, president of the Human Family Research Center.
Contrary to what was claimed by Senator Feinstein at the Gorsuch
nomination hearings, Roe has only been upheld in 3 of those
cases. Last year alone, state legislators proposed 50 bills
attempting to interpret the requirements of this troubling
decision, "The American people know that Roe has poisoned
our public discourse and politics. It is time to return the issue
of abortion to the democratic process," said Mackura. The poll was
conducted by the polling co. inc. Womantrend.
The mission of the Human Family Research Center is to provide
research and advocacy that builds a better understanding of the
inalienable value of every human being from the earliest moments of
existence and to awaken a need to create a human community that
understands the interconnectedness, value and importance of every
human being.
