Poll: 66% of Americans Say Unborn Infants are People, 52% That Life Begins at Conception

This is a serious blow to those who support infanticide at will. A new poll finds that most Americans side with many of the ideas held by those who feel that life is sacred.

A new YouGov survey finds that 66% of Americans feel that unborn babies in their mother’s womb should be thought of as a human being and 52 percent say that life begins at conception.

The majority of Americans (56%) also believe that abortion should not be legal and another 76 percent supports unborn victims laws that would charge criminals with two crimes when they kill or injure an unborn baby in an attack on her mother. The study, which polled 1,000 people, was commissioned after no charges were filed against Dynal lane, who cut Michelle Wilkins’ 7-month-old baby Aurora out of her womb in March in Colorado.

From the survey:

YouGov’s latest research shows that the vast majority of Americans (66%) think that fetuses in the womb are people. Only 16% think that fetuses are not people. A majority of every demographic group believes that fetuses are people, though Democrats and people who earn over $80,000 a year (both 56%) are the least likely to say that fetuses are people. Furthermore, another 76% of Americans think that if a fetus is killed in the course of a violent attack on a pregnant woman the attacker should be charged with murder.

Most Americans (52%) believe that life starts at conception. A further 20% believe that life begins when a fetus is able to survive outside of the womb, while 18% think that it only begins at the moment of birth. Attitudes towards when, exactly, life begins differ greatly according to age. While 63% of over-65s and 61% of people aged 45 to 64 believe that life begins at conception, only 36% of under-30s agree with them. Just under half of under-30s either believe that life begins when a fetus can survive (25%) or at birth (22%).

This runs against what the Democrat Party and its officials want people to think. Democrats outrageously feel that babies in the womb aren’t human. They refuse to agree that life begins at conception and want to maintain that there is all sorts of different, arbitrary times when a human fetus suddenly and magically becomes “human.”
