Gallup Finds More Americans Want Stricter Abortion Laws

Matthew 19:18 ESV “And Jesus said, “You shall not murder…”

Editor’s Note: Throughout the scriptures, God has made it clear that shedding innocent blood is murder, and no murderer will enter heaven. In addition to the death of the unborn baby, abortion also substantially harms the women and many times, families, husbands, boyfriends and a whole sphere of relationships connected to and surrounding each abortion. Often, lifelong guilt and other social, relational, spiritual and even physical problems follow the murder of innocent babes in the womb. Pastor Jim Bakker believes that this issue, abortion, may be the single most significant issue that brings God’s judgment on this nation more than any other.

A Gallup survey finds that many Americans are not happy with the current laws regarding abortion in the nation and those who are dissatisfied want stricter laws by a 2-1 margin.

The poll showed that only 34 percent of Americans are satisfied with current abortion law.  That’s the lowest since Gallup began polling on the question.

Almost half, 48 percent, are dissatisfied with current policies.  Twenty-four percent want stricter laws while the remaining 24 percent was split evenly between keeping the laws the same despite their dissatisfaction and making abortion easier to obtain.

Those polled who identified as Republicans showed the greatest level of increasing dissatisfaction with abortion laws.  Satisfaction with the laws has fallen from 42 percent to 26 percent in the last three years.

Democrats and independent voters have stayed roughly the same when it came to their satisfaction levels.  However, among independents, the dissatisfied would like to see stricter laws by a margin of 25 to 9 percent.

The polling had a margin of error of four percentage points.
