Our
friends at FRC have released a new poll that shows that Americans
oppose having their tax dollars pay for abortions under a “universal health
care plan.” Their results contain some interesting findings. Excerpts:
- Independent voters of all
ages and sex would be less likely to vote for a candidate that proposed a
national health care plan with universal coverage of abortion at taxpayer
expense.
- Although a majority of
Democrats would support a candidate that proposed a national health care
plan with universal coverage of abortion at taxpayer expense, the support
is soft at best (51%).
- Resistance to abortion
coverage is consistent between both sexes and all ages. Women aged 55 or
older are the most opposed to such coverage (59% are less likely to vote
for a candidate endorsing it), men of all ages follow in opposition (57%
less likely to vote for a candidate endorsing it), and the majority of
(51%) of women aged 18-54 are less likely to support such a candidates.
- Widespread disapproval of
candidates who support taxpayer-funded abortion coverage spans all but one
region of the United States
—New England.
