CNN

[...] corporation poll shows that Americans oppose Obama’s abortion record since taking office however CNN’s headline on the same poll says that his abortion record isn’t hurting him.  [...]

If abortion is okay, why can parents not kill their children until lets say 3 or 4 years old? Until that age, they are very dependent on their caregivers. So, let us rename murder for children under the age of 3 as abortion. No difference - born or not - it is still murder.

Women have a choice - whether to spread their legs or not.

Yeah, ok. I love your reasoning. I am not in favor of abortion so I am pro-life but I am also pro-choice because no one situation is alike for any women. Pro-life doesn't mean you'll vote against Obama. I proudly voted for Mr. Obama and will do it again. Many see the hypocrisy of the anti-choice movement. The pro-lifers are against abortion BUT they are also against welfare that would help women who cannot afford their child and many of them DON'T adopt children (just look at the numbers in foster care) or want homosexuals to adopt children. Hypocrisy!

The "major controversy" was basically all media driven. Nineteen people arrested; a small group of students boycotted; most of the demonstrators were from off the campus; only three hecklers inside the arena and they were shouted down byt the students shouting "YES WE CAN;" Obama received several standing ovations; and the students loved him! Does that sound like the "FIRESTORM" CNN TV called it? This is jusy more media driven B.S.

i stand with the president he had the guts to state his true feelings on the subject , i hope we can come to some middle ground no one wants to harm unborn babies and parents with children who can benifit from stem cell will do anything to help there kids this is a real catch 22

Not surprising... not releasing his full length birth certificate didn't hurt him either. But don't worry your little head... just go back to watching American Idol and then go to sleep...

Hey Howard, reply # 18. BUY AMERICAN, period. That's why we're in this mess now. Too many IMPORTS of all kind.

Some of these religious wingnuts need to get back to their BIbles...try reading it and understand that you can't judge, only God can do that. I am pro choice...the right for a woman to choice not pro abortion. Who is their right mind is pro abortion anyway? No one intentinally get pregnant just to abort a child!!! These whackjob are the ones who run around not wanting goverment in their everyday lives so why should governmet be able to tell a woman what to do with her body. That is between a woman and her God.

The reason this is news at all is that the Obama camp is worried about it.

So naturally, the big story is – there is no problem. And up is down, and the sky is not blue......

Question Authority.

I am Pro-life and a democrat. No matter what Obama's opinion about abortions he will not please the GOP. Some republicans, democrats, and catholics get stoned drunk. And I have witness some stoned drunk catholics. What does drunks have to do with abortions? They both are cruel acts but as Americans we have a right to have an abortion or get stoned drunk!

Maybe your poll was biased? Gotta love people saying polls are unreliable and then support their argument by citing a poll. Almost makes a rational persons brain hurt.

Ouch...another kick in the conservatives teeth. 62% – even after all their blather. BWAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!

Obama is like the teflon don. Nothing sticks to him no matter how out of bounds he is and this is due to the main stream media cheerleading and not doing any critical or investigative reporting. Its like TMZ is reporting on this presidnent, how he looks, what he eats, the funny joke he made, his lovely wife etc. but no in depth reporting on his policies and beliefs – just like before the election. I

Three out of five children go hungry in the US every day. Where are the pro-life groups? Why don't they DO something for others except rant and rave like lunatics. Do some work, collect money, food, anything instead of incessant whining about the "unborn". None of you care about anyone after their first day of actual life. You're all nuts.

It's part of our country's heritage to be able to debate these issues. That's what seperates us from dictatorships and the Taliban.

Once again, you can make polls say anything you want them to say. Just ask questions of the people you know will give you an affirmative answer.

keep up the cheerleading cnn.........even abortion doesn't bring him down......yeah yeah yeah, the one is still at 60 percent approval......isn't it just wonderful......its only a matter of time when the mainstream media created fog lifts and people see the keystone cops running about the uss obama as it lists drastically to port (that's the left for you uninformed)......no amount of bailing will lift his numbers at that point as people realize we are drowning in debt and our emboldened enemies prepare to assault a weakened america.....have a nice day....can't wait to see your next pollyanna poll cnn.......

Most Americans are intelligent enough to recognize that pro-choice does not mean pro-abortion!

To Joe in CA ...

The deal with adopting from abroad is that it's extremely unlikely the natural mother or father will come after the child even after the adoptive parents have been loving anc aring for it for a few years. Ask yourself whether you'd want to take that risk if there was an alternative.

A fetus is not a person, period! I'd be glad to support a constitutional amendment codifying Roe v. Wade as part of the integral document of our democracy to give these Christ-o-fascists something to really complain about!

Obama is doing a great job. We do not want religion running this country or we'll just be another Iran. Obama handled himself so well at the Notre Dame graduation. Funny how loudly some yell about abortion yet allow people like Bush and Cheney to kill in foreign lands and our own young adults in the military. Why aren't they so adamant against wars? I think it was all overblown, but then the media likes to sensationalize and comment as usual.

I for one never really cared what Catholics thought anyways. Most of the Catholics I know are the worst hypocrits and sinners in the world.. They seem to think they can say afew hail mary's and all is forgiven.. How many people have been murdered in the name of the Catholic church over the centuries, to many to count!

Of course abortion doesn't hurt Obama. Abortion hurts babies.

I'm pro-life, but not to the point that I'm willing to be at odds with the President of the United States. It's not like he's out there advertising abortion and unwanted babies. The people that want him just to go up there and outlaw abortion are irrational. Not even Bush could do that.

If the celebrities would just adopt from THIS country then maybe we'd find a home for the unaborted. It seeme we import EVERYTHING. Even unwanted children from OTHER countries and not our own. Pretty sad, isn't it??

Funny thing about the red states: they're all hung up on abortion, but they elect Republicans who eliminate social programs that help infants. The red states all have higher infant mortality rates than the rest of the country... but their "save the babies" constituency never seems to examine that fact. If the Republican states actually looked at the results of what they vote for, rather than listening to the rhetoric of their radio-host leaders, they might realize they've been duped.

Or, maybe they don't care about babies, just fetuses, and once you're actually born, you're off their love-list.

How much better would the country be right now if Obama's mama had chosen to have an abortion!

No, it's hurting the unborn!

I'm tired of middle-aged men with so much to say about abortion. Shut the hell up, besides with all the birth control available today, this is really a non issue.

Of course the abortion issue is not a problem. He is a good President that is doing his best despite all the odds (the economic crisis, the Republicans TRYING to make him look incompetent when we know he's not, etc.) Good approval ratings. In the 60s while the Republicans are in the 20s. I love this. I guess their Tea Party 'comeback' was all a joke. We all knew it was but they didn't. Keep it up Mr. President and thank you my fellow Americans.

Abortion will be fine with the right wing gop nut cases and hypocritical republicans so long as we kill the 'not even a person yet' in a war zone, or if we call it "Pro-active capital punishment".

Problem solved!

But as long as we refer to it as a 'womans choice' they won't like it. Women don't get a choice in this nation, because it's not the christian thing to do. "Right's' are not allowed for everyone, only the people that the right wing taliban decides can have rights (which in all cases is white, rich, males only).

Add me to the approval column.

So glad that Bush, Cheney, Rice and the other roght wing GOP neo cons are gone!
