Americans Tired of Abortion Debate

Can we move on already?

Americans are tired of talking about abortion, and really wish politicians would move on to something else already, according to Politico:

The poll, conducted by Lake Partners, found that Americans feel Congress has focused too much on abortion and not enough on things like preventive care, reproductive health and expanding access to birth control.

When presented with the following statement, 79 percent of adults agreed, with 49 percent agreeing strongly:

“While the current political debate focuses too much on abortion, there is a much broader discussion that needs to happen around reproductive health. We may have different opinions about abortion, so rather than continuing to argue about this one issue, our elected officials should focus on the broader context like providing greater access to birth control, teaching comprehensive sex education and improving maternal health and childbirth outcomes. These are issues that will allow us to come together.”

What?  People would rather try to work towards finding ways to prevent unintended pregnancies than fight about eliminating abortion access?  It’s a shame no one seems to be voting in politicians who agree.
