Global Morals? Pew Poll Reveals Majority of Nations around the World find Abortion, Homosexuality Immoral"There's no doubt that placing a greater importance on practicing the tenets of their faith and on building strong families has played a major role in protecting moral values in Africa, Asia, and Latin America." -Adam Cassandra, Human Life International Not a single nation in the 40 countries surveyed by Pew Research Center said abortion is morally acceptable. (Photo via Wikipedia) The majority of the people in dozens of nations across every continent but Antarctica deemed abortion and homosexuality morally unacceptable, according to results from the Pew Research Center's 2013 Global Attitudes. An outright majority of citizens in 26 countries found abortion morally objectionable – 13 of them by a three-to-one margin. The nations with the lowest tolerance of abortion were the Philippines, followed by Ghana, Indonesia, Uganda, and El Salvador. Similarly, majorities in 22 nations opposed homosexuality on moral grounds. Majorities in only three countries say homosexuality is morally acceptable: the Czech Republic, Spain, and Germany. "The results of the Pew poll aren't that surprising," Adam Cassandra, communications manager of Human Life International, told LifeSiteNews. "HLI's pro-life missionaries around the world have observed this trend for some time. Developing nations still hold to traditional moral values, while morality in more Westernized nations is declining." (Graph via LSN) In the United States 49 percent say abortion is morally unacceptable, while 17 percent say they could see it as an ethical choice. Another 23 percent do not regard abortion as a moral issue at all. The U.S. ranked 27th globally in its rejection of abortion, behind Brazil, South Africa, and the Palestinian territories, but more likely to disapprove of the procedure than residents of such nations as China, Japan, Australia, Israel, or Great Britain.
