More than a dozen Democratic candidates have announced or officially entered the 2020 presidential race. Not one has said they support abortion restrictions of any kind. Not a single candidate has deviated from the Democratic Party platform’s support of federally funded abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, for any reason. With recent polls revealing that the electorate is increasingly pro-life, this extreme pro-abortion stance is in stark contrast to the views of the large majority of Americans. ADVERTISEMENT
Rather than adopting the Democrats’ extreme stance on abortion through all nine months of pregnancy, the latest polling shows a full 75 percent of the 1,066 Americans surveyed believe that abortion should be limited to the first trimester. This includes 92 percent of Republicans, 78 percent of Independents, 60 percent of Democrats and even 6 in 10 people who identify as “pro-choice.” This most recent survey of Americans’ views on abortion was taken in the wake of efforts in several states to legalize abortion up until birth, a position Democratic politicians generally support. The new polling results show a massive double-digit shift away from the pro-choice position and towards a pro-life stance. The greatest shift has been among Democrats and people under 45.
