Americans Want Pro-Abortion Health Care Law Repealed, Hope GOP Will Do It
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --
Two new national polls show Americans want the pro-abortion health care bill President Barack Obama signed into law repealed. They also show voters want Republican lawmakers to keep fighting against the government-run health care system and to promote legislation to repeal it.
Just before the House passed and Obama signed the health care bill that funds abortions, Americans opposed it on a 54-41 percentage point margin, according to Rasmussen.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey, conducted on the first two nights after the president signed the bill, shows 55 percent want the law repealed whiled 42 percent oppose that. Those figures include 46% who strongly favor repeal and 35% who strongly oppose it.
Republicans overwhelmingly favor repeal while most Democrats are opposed. Among those not affiliated with either major party, 59% favor repeal, and 35% are against it.
There is little divide between older and younger Americans as both favor a repeal of the pro-abortion health care law. Most senior citizens (59%) favor repeal but 58% of those 18 to 29 also support repealing it.
And when it comes to the November congressional elections, 52% say they'd vote for a candidate who favors repeal over one who does not. Forty-one percent would cast their vote for someone who opposes repeal.
Several states are already challenging the health care law in court and an earlier poll found 49 percent of Americans, a plurality of those polled, favor the lawsuits. Full story at LifeNews.com
