Voters Oppose Democrats' Stance on Abortion

New poll: 77 percent of voters back legislation to protect babies who survive abortions

An overwhelming majority of Americans support congressional action to protect children born alive through failed abortions and oppose efforts to expand late-term abortions.

A new poll released by Susan B. Anthony List on Wednesday indicated that 77 percent of voters favor legislation mandating that children who survive failed abortions are given the same medical treatment as babies born prematurely. The poll, which surveyed 1,000 likely general election voters between Feb. 6-10, also found 62 percent opposed legislation allowing late-term abortions even up to the point of labor.

Support was nearly uniform across gender and political lines, according to the results. Approximately 79 percent of men and 75 percent of women signaled their support for children born alive, while 59 percent of men and 65 percent of women said they were against loosening restrictions on late-term abortions.

Likewise, 86 percent of Republicans, 70 percent of Democrats, and 75 percent of independents endorsed protecting children who survive abortion. On the topic of late-term abortion, however, there was some division along partisan lines with 71 percent of Republicans, 48 percent of Democrats, and 70 percent of independents opposing efforts to make them more accessible.
