President
Trump called on Congress within his State of the Union address on Tuesday evening
to ‘pass legislation, at last, that bans late-term abortion of babies.’
Trump
made the request after presenting his special guests, Robin Schneider and
daughter, Ellie, who was among the youngest premature babies born within the U.S.
at 21 weeks and 6 days. Ellie, now, is a healthy 2-year-old girl.
Besides
asking Congress to offer an extra $50 million for neo-natal studies, President Trump
stated that is also why he is calling on the Members of Congress to pass
legislation that finally bans late-term abortion of babies.
The
president’s statement is consistent with the viewpoints of the majority of
Americans.
According
to a Marist poll that was released in January it found that 62% of people in
America state that if the U.S. Supreme Court revisits Roe vs Wade, it ought to
rule to permit states to determine abortion limitations (46%) or make abortion
illegal (16%). This result includes 39% of the ones who identify as Democrat, as
well as 40% of the ones who consider themselves to be “pro-choice.”
Only
33% of people in America state that abortion ought to be legal during any time
without limitation, according to the poll.
The
poll discovered that 41% of the ones who identify as pro-choice are more than
likely to vote for candidates supporting abortion limitations, as are more than
9 in 10, or 96%, of the ones identifying as pro-life.
Also,
65% of people in America, and the exact same percentage of registered voters, claim
they’re “more likely to vote for” candidates who’d restrict abortion to, at
most, the first 3 months of pregnancy. This result includes 88% of Republicans,
62% of independents, and 44% of Democrats.
