A new poll conducted by the Marist College for the Knights of Columbus found the following results:

when asked their view about abortion:

8 percent of U.S. residents chose option 1, that abortion should be available to a woman any time she wants one during her entire pregnancy;

• 8 percent chose option 2, that abortion should be allowed only during the first 6 months of pregnancy;

• 24 percent chose option 3, that abortion should be allowed only during the first 3 months of pregnancy;

• 32 percent chose option 4, that abortion should be allowed only in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother;

• 15 percent chose option 5, that abortion should be allowed only to save the life of the mother; and

• 13 percent chose option 6, that abortion should never be permitted under any circumstance.

The poll also revealed that only 15 percent of those describing themselves as "pro-choice" favored unrestricted abortion throughout a pregnancy. 71 percent of pro-choice respondents said they would restrict significantly restrict abortions. Of these 43 percent would restrict abortion to the first trimester and 23 percent would restrict abortion only to cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.

so politically speaking the Democratic Party Platform which "unequivocally and strongly supports a woman's right (or as the Pope would say alleged right) to abortion, regardless of ability to pay for it (does this mean they want the government to fund it?)" may be a bit out of touch. Although same can be said about the Republicans.

yes. How you vote on 2008 might impact your fate on Judgment Day.

Armando Vallardes, a Cuban-American human rights advocate and a former U.S. ambassador under Reagan and Bush Sr. says that electing Obama "goes against the values, principles, and ideals that have shaped this great nation". Vallardes complained about Obama's softness against terrorism, his support for abortion, and his promotion of adoption for gay couples in an article entitled "Obama Presidente" (the article is in Spanish).

Vallardes, a member of the board of directors for the Human Rights Foundation, has highlighted mr. Obama's relationship with Bill Ayers, and has even compared Obama to Hugo Chavez saying that Obama ""reminds me of what happened to Fidel Castro and later what happened with Chavez. When our friends warned Venezuelans that the price of this 'change,'" could cost their freedom, they accused us of empty threats. However, "we were right, but it is already too late."

Vallardes also accused Obama of thinking that the ends justify the means (which many socialists belief, i'm not saying that Obama is a socialist).

Also Sarah Palin is going after Obama's "extreme" views on abortion. Especially his vote against the Born Alive Infant Protections Act, which some people allege he did because he thought it could put a burden on the abortionist.

[QUOTE="JoeRatz16"]Here it is. A small group stood in front of the Cathedral while a huge mob of feminists demanding that abortion be legalized (this is in argentina) swarmed around them.Junkie_man

As long as they didn't resort to violence, then good for the feminists.
