(LifeSiteNews) — While nearly half of Canadians support placing at least some limits on abortion, Canada’s leading pro-life group says the large support for aborting babies at any stage of pregnancy shows Canadians are “ignorant” when it comes to defending the life of the unborn.
According to a new Angus Reid poll, while 49 percent of Canadians say they support at least some limits on abortion, a majority 52 percent say they are in favor of abortion at any point of pregnancy.
Broken down, the polls shows that 8 percent of Canadians say they are 100 percent pro-life, with 41 percent saying they support limits on abortion but would not call themselves 100 percent “pro-life,” identifying instead as “in between” pro-life and pro-abortion.
For the “in-between” respondents, 36 percent said abortion is okay but only until week 15 of pregnancy, with 23 percent saying it’s okay “after heartbeat but before viability – about 24 weeks.”
It is worth noting that one third of the “in-between” group selected “Not sure/Can’t say” when asked specifically where the line should be drawn.
