I have spent a great deal of time analyzing the support for abortion, and Americans have favored a late-term abortion ban for years. In the wake of individual states pushing the 20 week ban the issue has once again reached nationwide notoriety. Now pollsters are starting to come to the result I have: liberals are way out of the mainstream on the abortion issue.
In response to the announcement from Governor Perry that Texas SB1, which bans abortions after 20 week – or 5 months – will pass in this special legislative session, the typical abortionists tactics and rhetoric have started back up. But the rhetoric regarding the impact of policy never matches the practice.
It may come as a shock to mainstream media consumers outside the Lone Star State, but Wendy Davis is not the only woman in Texas and her opinion is not shared by a majority of Texans.
As the American public becomes more educate on the reality of the industry, the support for abortion decreases, but ignorance in support of abortion remains strong.
Gov. Rick Perry said that a filibuster and protests that kept the Texas Senate from passing SB5 were “nothing more than the hijacking of the democratic process,” but apparently for the janitors at the Texas capitol building in Austin, they were more than that.
