A Number the Reich Doesn't Want You To Know About

How are Americans feeling about a woman's right to choose in this critical election season?

Well, NARAL just completed a national poll of registered likely voters. What were the results? Exciting numbers that again reiterate that King George, The Christian Taliban and their Robots are out of touch with mainstream America.

Here are some of the key findings from our polling effort:

*Roughly three quarters of likely voters (77%) agree that the government and politicians should stay out of a woman's personal and private decision whether or not to have an abortion.

*Two-thirds of voters disapprove of the laws passed in South Dakota and Louisiana that would ban abortion in nearly all circumstances, even for victims of rape and incest or women whose health is at risk.

*65% of voters feel less favorable toward candidates who support allowing pharmacists to refuse to fill birth-control prescriptions.

*61% of voters feel more negative toward a candidate who opposes making emergency contraception available in emergency rooms for rape and incest victims.

*61% of voters disapprove when they hear Congress has voted 145 times in the last 10 years to restrict reproductive-health services, including abortion and birth control.

Americans are unified over the issues of freedom, privacy, and personal decision-making. NARAL Pro-Choice America found - yet again - that an overwhelming majority of registered likely voters oppose divisive attacks on a woman's right to choose and support real solutions to prevent unintended pregnancies and reduce the need for abortion. The poll confirms that Americans want Congress to support efforts to empower women to prevent unintended pregnancy without undermining access to safe, legal abortion.

NARAL is going to use all the detailed data they've collected to help pro-choice candidates develop strategies to talk about their pro-choice values with voters across America.
