<\/div>

(NRLC.org<\/a>) A new poll for National Right to Life conducted by The McLaughlin Group finds that a pro-life candidate\u00a0who would allow abortion in cases of rape, incest, and to save the mother\u2019s life would beat a candidate favoring unlimited abortion for any reason.<\/p>\n

In the poll of 1,000 voters taken September 16-22, 2022, respondents were asked to choose between a pro-life candidate who would allow abortion in cases of the life of the mother, rape, or incest and who opposed taxpayer funding of abortion, and a candidate who would allow unlimited abortion for any reason paid for with tax dollars \u2013 an extreme position advocated by the Democratic party platform.<\/p>\n

URGENT:\u00a0<\/b>For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today?<\/i><\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

A total of 47.1% said they would vote for the pro-life candidate compared to just 44.2% who would vote for the pro-abortion candidate.<\/p>\n

Respondents\u00a0were also asked to choose between a pro-life candidate who would allow abortion in cases of the life of the mother, medical emergencies, rape, or incest and who opposed taxpayer funding of abortion and a candidate favoring unlimited abortion for any reason paid for with tax dollars.<\/p>\n

In this case the pro-life candidate prevailed 49.3% to 42.1%.<\/p>\n

The pro-life candidate in the latter case mirrored the provisions of legislation recently passed in West Virginia and Indiana.\u00a0Neither\u00a0piece of legislation\u00a0contained any penalties for the mother.<\/p>\n

In each case the pro-life candidate took a position typical of Republican candidates running for office, while the candidate favoring unlimited abortion took a position typical of Democratic candidates.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs has been the case for decades, pro-life candidates enjoy a distinct advantage over their pro-abortion challengers,\u201d <\/strong>said Carol Tobias, president of National Right to Life. \u201cThese poll results underscore the importance of pro-life candidates clearly articulating their position while making sure voters understand the extreme position of their pro-abortion opponent. <\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n
