Interesting statistic I found when reading the New York Post yesterday...

The Post reported, as per a May 15, 2009 Gallup Poll, that "a greater percent of Americans now call themselves PRO-LIFE rather than PRO-CHOICE on the issue of abortion".

Also noted was the fact that this is the first occasion that a major poll has produced such results in the 15 years that Gallop has been asking this question!

Last year the results of this opinion poll on the abortion issue were 50% pro-choice, while 44% called themselves pro-life. In this 2009 poll, the same question resulted in 51% of Americans calling themselves pro-life, while 42% labeled themselves pro-choice. (there was no mention in the brief article about the remaining percentage of Americans)

I found those statistics to be eye opening. I think the main stream media (to which I seldom listen) portrays American opinions on this issue differently. If asked, I would be listed among those who consider themselves PRO-LIFE. I am PRO-LIFE not only as it relates to the abortion issue, but as it relates to other areas of life's sanctity as well.

I place a high value on EVERY LIFE because that is how God views EVERY life He creates! To assume control over another life, (regardless of the situation) places God under OUR OWN control and that is a dangerous position in which to live. May everything we do bring honor to God!
