Democrats' Busted Bumper Sticker Abortion "Arguments"

Rapid Response

Democrats’ arguments on abortion can fit on a bumper sticker…not because they’re catchy, but because they’re weak.

They claim Americans support them on abortion, but if you go look beyond the bumper stickers and under the hood, Democrats are way outside the mainstream.

According to new Fox News polling, 71% of voters support at least some limits on abortion, with 54% saying it should be mostly or always illegal. In fact, Americans favor limiting abortion to before 15 weeks by 54% to 41%. And most Americans support limiting abortion at 6 weeks by 50% to 46%.

In fact, polls consistently show Americans back commonsense abortion restrictions:

  • 77% support legislation banning infanticide
  • 80% believe third trimester abortions should not be legal “in most” or “all” cases.
  • No matter how the question is asked, Americans oppose taxpayer-funded abortions by a 20 point margin.

Contrast that with the Democrats’ “Abortion for All” act, which would codify abortion up to and after the moment of birth without limits. Democrats have even opposed legislation banning infanticide, and many support forcing pro-life taxpayers to pay for abortions and pro-life doctors to perform them.

Why the disconnect between the American people and Democrat politicians? Americans back the science and morality over lazy Democrat talking points plastered on bumper stickers.
