A new poll conducted by a leading web site for evangelical Christians finds a significant number of pro-life advocates would support a Democratic presidential candidate who opposes abortion. However, the 2008 elections won't likely give voters that option as all of the leading Democrats strongly back abortion. The Christian web portal ChristiaNet.com conducted a survey of 900 of its members, virtually all of whom are pro-life Christians. Asked "Would you elect a Pro-Life Democrat for president?" the poll showed 43% said they would vote for a Democrat willing to support legal protection for unborn children.

That's correct: This left-wing congressmen voted with the National Right to Life Committee on every single abortion vote in his first two years. That was more pro-life than three Ohio Republicans that year. The votes included sticking up for a ban on partial-birth abortion and voting to thwart President Clinton's plan to give foreign aid to overseas agencies that perform and counsel abortion.

A Canadian pro-abortion campaigner has claimed that the availability of abortion has led to a reduction in crime. Henry Morgentaler said: "Fewer unwanted children are being born. It is the unwanted children who are likely to be abused or neglected; they are therefore more likely to grow up with emotional problems and a rage in their hearts that leads to violence."

[One] set of medical arguments against abortion surround the definition of life and death. If one set of criteria have been used to define death, could they ... be used to define life? Death used to be defined by the cessation of heartbeat. A stopped heart was a clear sign of death. If the cessation of heartbeat could define death, could the onset of a heartbeat define life? The heart is formed by the 18th day in the womb.

WASHINGTON, May 3 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- "Planned Parenthood, America's largest abortion chain, continues to end the lives of preborn children at an alarming rate," said Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League. "With the release of the organization's latest 'service' numbers, we now know that in 2005, Planned Parenthood killed 264,943 preborn children through surgical and medical abortions. This means the abortion giant kills 5,095 babies in the womb every week in this country."

Rudy Giuliani has worked overtime to try to back off of his position in favor of abortion and persuade pro-life voters that he won't be so bad. While he talks about appointing judges who don't legislate from the bench and flip-flopped to oppose partial-birth abortion, he still supports taxpayer funded abortions. In an interview with CNN, the former New York City mayor told White House Correspondent Dana Bash that his prior position in favor of abortions paid for with public funds wouldn't change if he's elected president.
