Pro Life Apologetics

PRO-ABORTION ARGUMENT:
"The anti-abortion beliefs of the minority shouldn't be imposed on the majority."



PRO-LIFE ANSWERS:

1. Major polls clearly indicate it is a majority, not a minority, who believe there should be greater restrictions on abortion.

2. Many people's apparent agreement with abortion law stems from their ignorance of what the law really is.

3. Beliefs that abortion should be restricted are embraced by a majority in each major political party.

4. In 1973 the Supreme Court imposed a minority morality on the nation, ignoring the votes of citizens and the decisions of state legislatures.

**Ronald Reagan summarized the issue this way: "Our nation-wide policy of abortion-on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy was neither voted for by our people nor enacted by our legislators--not a single state had such unrestricted abortion before the Supreme Court decreed it to be national policy in 1973." According to dissenting Justice White, the Roe v. Wade decision was nothing but "an act of raw judicial power."
