A new Gallup poll that indicates Americans swinging strongly toward a pro-life position reflects a reaction to the realization what a true "pro-choice" position means to President Barack Obama, according to an analyst.

"Barack Obama has revealed what 'pro-choice' means – taxpayer funded abortions, eliminating common-sense regulations, rescinding protections for doctors and medical providers who decline to participate in abortion," said Wendy Wright, chief of the Concerned Women for America.

"'Pro-choice' means taking away people's choices – a baby's right to live, a woman's right to know the harms of abortion before she undergoes one, taxpayers' right not to be forced to pay for other people's abortions, medical providers freedom not to participate in abortions," she said.

She spoke with Greg Corombos of Radio America/WND. The audio of the exchange is embedded here:

The Gallup poll revealed that 51 percent of Americans now identify themselves as "pro-life" and 42 percent "pro-choice."

The poll described the change as "significant" from only one year ago, when the numbers nearly were reversed. At that point 50 percent called themselves pro-choice and 44 percent called themselves pro-life.

In a statement, Wright noted ultrasounds are more available now, and women have been more vocal with their regrets over abortion. But she said the most significant development is the nation's "most pro-abortion president in our history."

The Gallup report said, "It is possible that, through his abortion policies, Obama has pushed the public's understanding of what it means to be 'pro-choice' slightly to the left, politically. While Democrats may support that, as they generally support everything Obama is doing as president, it may be driving others in the opposite direction."
