The funny thing about this whole story is what Democrats are so angry with Mello about. He sponsored a 20-week abortion ban, which is when babies have scientifically been able to feel pain. Banning abortion at 20 weeks is popular among Americans, with nearly six in ten saying they favor such laws, including 49 percent of Democrats. According to the same Marist poll, 61 percent of Americans, including 39 percent of Clinton supporters, oppose taxpayer funding of abortion.
A different Marist poll released last summer showed 78 percent of Americans believe that abortion facilities should be held to the same medical and safety standards as other outpatient facilities. Even 74 percent of “pro-choicers” agreed with this statement. The Pew Research Center found that 28 percent of all Democrats believe abortion should be illegal in all or most circumstances—a not insignificant number....

This is where the Democratic Party is about to crumble. Millennials are more politically liberal in general, except on abortion. While the majority will identify as “pro-choice,” 53 percent say abortion should be illegal in all or most (rape/incest/life of the mother) circumstances. The Boston Globe noted the huge polling swing on abortion from 1991-2010 among the younger generation:
Young Americans — voters under 30 — were once the most gung-ho in support of unfettered legal abortion. In 1991, fully 36 percent believed abortion should be legal under any circumstances. But by 2010, 18-to-29-year-olds had become more pro-life than their parents — only 24 percent still wanted to keep abortion legal in all cases. More than any other age cohort, in fact, young adults are now the most likely to think abortion should be illegal in all circumstances....

Good article. Independent/centrist candidates is what we need if dems are going to be extremist on abortion and pubs want to be silly.

In my experience my fellow millennials are overwhelmingly pro choice. The only number that implies our generation is pro life is the 53% number that included people who support abortion in some circumstances. Take away those people and the no abortion under any circumstances number would be dramatically lower. Millennials are far less religious than previous generations which seems to be the driving force behind the pro life movement.

I agree 100% Godzilla. Also the OP is an incredibly slanted/terrible article. Full of lies and spin.

I don't have any pro life friends that I'm aware of, and I'm not particularly political anyway, so it's not like I go out seeking liberal pro choice friends.

Can any of the libturds explain why an abortion clinic shouldnt be held to the same standards as a hospital? I guess its harder to allow the Kermit Gosnells to do their work if the standards are enforced.

The day can't come soon enough when technology renders this ugly, divisive argument entirely moot.

Once we have essentially an "artificial womb", we can allow any pregnant woman to "give up" her unborn child, at any stage of pregnancy, to the machine, and legally disavow any responsibility for the child to the state.


You might think that makes the person a terrible person ... but so what. Sticks and stones. No one is being killed at that point.
