Massive support, including funding, for Pregnancy Help Centers, poll reveals

Boy, is this going to set off pro-abortion Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass). As many of you know, Sen. Warren said of Pregnancy Resource Centers, “We need to shut ‘em down here in Massachusetts, and we need to shut ‘em down all around the country.”

On Tuesday, adding fuel to the incendiary attacks, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) issued a “consumer alert” warning women not to visit pregnancy centers based on findings in a biased report from pro-abortion groups.

But according to an August 3 to August 7 poll conducted by the Creative Response Concepts (CRC) Research, 64% not only don’t want to shut them down, they also support public funding of pregnancy help centers.

The figure jumps to “74% of respondents from across the political spectrum who “strongly support or somewhat support publicly funding these centers after learning what services the centers provide.”

The survey of 1,600 likely voters informed respondents that pregnancy resource centers “provide resources for pregnant women in need, including prenatal care, clothing, diapers, [and] housing assistance,” “empower women to choose life for their child during pregnancy and after delivery,” “allow women to reach their goals and keep their baby” and “allow women facing unexpected pregnancies to keep their baby and give them the tools to achieve success and independence,” Ryan Foley reported.

Eighty percent support the prosecution of protesters who “[engage] in acts of vandalism and violence against pregnancy resource centers and churches,” Samantha Renck wrote.

 “The respondents also overwhelmingly agreed that ‘elected officials should publicly denounce this behavior and call for those engaging in it be brought to justice.’” 

The poll asked respondents if they are more or less likely to support “a candidate who supports legislation that publicly funds pregnancy centers.” Sixty-seven percent of participants classified themselves as “more likely” to vote for candidates who support the public funding of pro-life pregnancy centers. Thirty-one percent said they were “much more likely” and 35% “somewhat more likely” to do so.

“Local pregnancy center support comes from concerned, pro-life Republicans, independents, and Democrats, who all agree that women should have help with life-affirming alternatives to abortion,” Jor-El Godsey, the president of Heartbeat International, told The Daily Signal in a statement.
