According To SurveyUSA, Only 13 States Are Anti-Choice

And those would be: Idaho, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia.

But keep in mind that most of these states listed above, mainly the more Libertarian leaning Great Plains states are just barely anti-choice. And also think about the Southern states that are in the right column. According to this latest poll, Georgia, South Carolina, Florida, and North Carolina all take the position of wanting to protect a woman's right to choose. I think this is awesome. And I post this to remind DUers to never back down to the right wing radicals on this issue. Sure, the illogical right is more vocal with their backwards beliefs, but just know that you are not alone. Don't give up the fight on this issue, we're in the majority on this one. It's too important.

On an electoral map, the Choice side would win by a whopping 451-87!

By the way, I got these results from the recent Bush job approval ratings put out by Survey USA. You can click each state's link and see their views on a broad range of issues and the demographics of those polled.

1. I must say I'm pretty shocked!

I can't believe Fa and SC are in the choice column! I also am surprised at WV is in the anti column!

I'm glad to hear about the southern states, but I find it very hard to believe! I've lived in SC and now in Ga. I get ALL EXCITED when I meet even ONE Dem!!!!

2. Well, I Think The Terror

issue makes it look worse than it really is. Atlanta and Dekalb County is probably what pushes us over the top. Also, I know some women in Georgia who voted for Bush simply because they didn't like Kerry or claimed that he "scared them." All of these women (around age 35) voted for Clinton and Gore. All 4 of them are pro-choice.

That's all I can figure.

3. The choice issue is a mobilization of single-issue zealots.

There are more single-issue choice zealots on the 'anti' side than on the 'pro' side. The majority of the 'pro' side aren't single-issue zealots who'd sell their grandmother to defeat any 'anti' candidate. (I would, but that's only because she died 20 years ago.) :evilgrin:

One of the more detestible attacks on Kucinich from the 'left' was his Catholicism and reticence to support funding for abortions. Of all the candidates, despite amateur soothsayer prognostications regarding electability, his positions were most solidly and rationally liberal.
