Angus Reid poll shocker, some people disagree

February 18, 2012 by Jennifer Derwey 2 Comments

I think the pro-life community has worked incredibly hard over the past several decades to educate and change opinions. That change, dare I say it, seems to be taking effect. Wanting to address the issue of Canada’s current unrestricted law doesn’t make you “pro-life” necessarily, is just means you’re not completely comfortable with no restrictions whatsoever. The majority of Canadians fall into that category. Is there anyone who disagrees with the majority of Canadians? Of course there is, but you can’t say every poll is “wrong” just because it doesn’t illustrate what you want it to.

Over the past few years, we have conducted many surveys in Canada and around the world on topics that are highly controversial: the legalization of marijuana, thedeath penalty, the use of torture to interrogate terrorism suspects, and corporal punishment in the home. The reaction from people who disagree with the findings because they find themselves in the minority is usually the same. “Everybody I know agrees with my point of view,” they say. “So the questions have to be biased.”

    And then I still feel the need to get some clarification on this poll. Like, do the 41% really agree that it’s OK to have an abortion in month 9 because of cleft palate and club foot? Or are some of these 41% under the impression that this sort of thing never happens?

    It’s interesting to see that as Canadians do become more educated as to what the status quo actually is, it’s the ‘Joyce Arthurs’ that come across as the true extremists in their call for unlimited access to abortion for all women at all times.
