Well-known evangelist Franklin Graham has responded publicly to pop star Madonna after the world-famous singer suggested that Jesus “would agree” with women having abortions. 

In an interview with Australian talk show host Andrew Denton, the “Like a Prayer” singer insisted that – seeing as Jesus was a supporter of women – he would be perfectly happy with them aborting their unborn children.

“Don’t you think Jesus would agree that a woman has the right to choose what to do with her body,” she said, noting that, given the opportunity, she would personally challenge the Pope on the issue.

“One day he might invite me – I think this one might,” she said. “I would say ‘Let’s talk about Jesus’ point of view about women – let’s talk about it, like, what do you really think he thought of women?”

Graham, himself a staunch pro-life advocate, took to Facebook to voice his disagreement with Madonna’s sentiments.

“Madonna says that the Author of Life, Jesus Christ, would approve of the destruction of life through abortion. That’s absurd!” he declared.

“I’m sorry that Madonna and others who believe the way she does are so misled. “They must not understand that one day God will hold them accountable. To stand before a Holy God with the blood of the unborn on your hands is a frightening thought.”

Sixty percent of Americans say abortion should be illegal in all or most circumstances, according to a new Gallup survey that also found adults holding contradictory views on the subject.

It’s the highest percentage since 2011 of Americans opposing abortion most or all of the time. 

Gallup asked Americans whether they believe abortion should be illegal “in all circumstances,” in most circumstances, legal “under most circumstances” or legal “under any circumstances.”

Twenty-one percent say abortion should be illegal in all circumstances and 39 percent say it should be illegal under most circumstances, for a combined total of 60 percent. It’s the highest total since 2011 when it was 61 percent. 

Meanwhile, 49 percent of Americans consider themselves pro-life (the highest percentage since 2012) and 48 percent say they’re pro-choice. Not since 2013 has the percentage of pro-lifers outnumbered pro-choicers.

Still, the public remains conflicted about the legality of abortion, if not confused. That’s because the same sample that favors more restrictions on abortion also supports Roe v. Wade – the decision that prohibits most restrictions. 

A total of 60 percent of Americans oppose overturning Roe v. Wade while 33 percent say it should be overturned. Roe and its companion Doe v. Bolton decision legalized…
