Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The issue of abortion is seen as a top issue in the 2008 presidential election by 40 percent of Americans, indicating the contentious subject still plays a prominent role in how people case their ballot for president. Previous polls have shown that the pro-life position gives presidential candidates an edge.
The new figure comes from a survey the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press conducted.
It found that abortion is important for 38 percent of Democrats and 43 percent of Republicans and with Republicans tending to be more pro-life than Democrats that translates into an advantage for pro-life candidates.

If the majority of pro-lifers in Canada made fetal rights a top priority in their voting intentions and political activism, we could have a similar effect in Canada.
