Poll: Voters blind to the truth about Planned Parenthood

A recent poll commissioned by the National Right to Life Committee shows that people need to be educated on the mission of Planned Parenthood. Because when that happens, they tend to change their view.

NRLC executive director David O’Steen tells American Family News the survey, conducted on 1,003 registered voters by the Polling Company February 28 - March 3, 2013, shows that the majority has a favorable opinion of the abortion giant. But that does not surprise him, as it is something that has been reported in previous studies.

“But it shows that this favorable image is really based on not knowing much about the organization,” O’Steen adds. “Eighty-eight percent of the population feels that they are familiar with Planned Parenthood, and 44 percent say they’re very familiar. But a majority doesn’t even know that Planned Parenthood performs abortions.”

vAlthough 63 percent said that they had a favorable opinion of Planned Parenthood, including 38 percent of those who identified themselves as pro-life, 55 percent of those polled did not know that Planned Parenthood performs abortions. But based on current figures, the truth is an estimated 27 percent of all abortions done in the U.S. are performed at Planned Parenthood facilities.

O’Steen contends the reason people do not know the truth about the abortion giant is the secular media does not report it.

“This is the nation’s largest chain of abortion clinics. We do have a job ahead of us in the pro-life movement and in the pro-life media of just telling the truth over and over and over again and breaking through this veil of secrecy that Planned Parenthood wants to hide behind,” the pro-lifer asserts
