Valin Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 NRO/The Corner: Michael J. New August 31, 2012 Most news coverage of abortion-related issues tends to focus on developments at the federal level. Judicial nominees, federal legislation, and Supreme Court decisions constitute a large percentage of abortion-related coverage. However, this past weekend, the CBS evening news ran a segment about the substantial gains that pro-lifers are making at the state level. The segment discusses a recent Guttmacher report which found that 2011 and 2012 were record-setting years in terms of the amount of state-level pro-life legislation that was enacted. Since 2010, 32 states have enacted over 100 pro-life laws. The segment credits gains in pro-life sentiment, citing the May 2012 Gallup poll which showed that people were more likely to identify as “pro-life” rather than pro-choice by a 50 to 41 margin. It also mentions the work of pro-life groups. Susan Muskett, senior legislative counsel for National Right to Life Committee, makes an appearance to discuss pro-life progress in the states.
