Abortion Viewed in Moral Terms

Abortion Viewed in Moral Terms
Pew research did an interesting poll among adults. They found only 15% view abortion as morally permissible in any case

This poll, as the image said, does not show those who say that it "depends on the situation."

Atheists and the non-religious are much more likely to view abortion as morally permissible than the religious.

This, I think is the most interesting (and important) one. More women view abortion as morally wrong than men - the exact opposite of what radical left wing abortionists want us to believe.

As far as stem cell research is concerned, most people (myself included) view that this is not a moral issue

Despite this, another Pew shows that, whilst most people view abortion as immoral (myself included), most do not want Roe v. Wade overturned.

As of last month, they also did an abortion slide show which I think is interesting http://features.pewforum.org/abortion-slideshow/

Richard Dawkins Wrote:One of the things that is wrong with religion is that it teaches us to be satisfied with answers which are not really answers at all.
