Very Little Progress
…If one looks at the Gallup Poll concerning pro-life and pro-choice numbers since 1998, there has been very little change.
Since 1998:
lowest % favoring pro-life – 41% (2006, the latest)
highest % favoring pro-life – 51% (2009)
lowest % favoring pro-choice – 41% (2012)
highest % favoring pro-choice – 51% (2006)
largest margin favoring pro-life – 9% (2012, the latest)
largest margin favoring pro-choice – 10% (2006)
A glance at the last two might cause one to think that things have changed and pro-life is on the upswing and the numbers for pro-choice have begun to fall. But here’s the stark reality:
Pro-life began in 1998 with 45%; ended in 2016 with 46%.
Pro-choice began in 1998 with 48%; ended in 2016 with 47%.1
Eighteen years have passed with virtually no progress. Let’s face the facts. What we’re doing is not working.
Some of us aren’t doing enough. We’re pro-life. We’re against abortion, but we’re passive. We’re like small children with short attention spans. A child gets a new toy and plays with it for a while and then goes on to something else. We hear something about abortion and we’re roused for several hours. Then, we go on with our lives. We must sustain our outrage against the murder of the unborn and do more. Will you even follow this site for a few months and read upcoming articles to see what you can do? Or is even that too much?
Some of us are doing much, but what we’re doing isn’t effective in changing the mind of America. Some work around abortion clinics trying to change the mind of women about to have an abortion. I read of one such case just yesterday where a couple changed their minds because a pro-lifer talked with them and persuaded them that their unborn child was precious to God. That’s absolutely wonderful! But others continue to stream into murder clinics at the rate of 2500 per day. Some march in the streets to bring awareness to the cause. Others pass out literature, send out emails, start petitions, try to influence politicians. But in the last eighteen years, there has been almost no change. We must do something in addition to what we’re already doing, something different. Are you willing to follow this site to discover what will work?
Do it now. Don’t wait.
