The poll indicates that many voters prioritize protecting unborn children, women\u2019s health, and safeguarding children from gender ideology and inappropriate media. Political figures and candidates are encouraged to align with these views, especially as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/ron-desantis-crt-wokeness-very-unpopular-wherever-its-been-tried\/\" title=\"Ron DeSantis: CRT, Wokeness \u2018Very Unpopular Wherever It&#039;s Been Tried&#039;\">midterm elections approach<\/a>. The report also touches on debates surrounding mifepristone, the abortion-inducing drug, and mentions recent governmental discussions about imposing safeguards like in<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/fda-will-no-longer-require-in-person-doctor-visits-for-abortion-pill\/\" title=\"FDA Will No Longer Require In-Person Doctor Visits for Abortion Pill\">-person doctor visits<\/a> before dispensing the medication. the survey suggests a shift towards common-sense, socially conservative policies among voters.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>According to podcaster Allie Beth Stuckey, phrases such as \u201cabortion is health care,\u201d \u201clove is love,\u201d and \u201cno human being is illegal\u201d are used to emotionally manipulate voters into having misplaced empathy.<\/p>\n<p>But the days of toxic empathy may be over. According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/concernedwomen.org\/new-cwa-poll-on-midterm-issues-finds-major-support-for-womens-issues\/\">new poll<\/a> commissioned by Concerned Women for America (CWA), voters are leaning towards common sense \u2014 taking a conservative stance on cultural issues as the midterm elections loom.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe results here clearly show voters are supportive of a socially conservative agenda. For pro-lifers, in particular, the findings that almost 70% of voters agree with reinstating the FDA\u2019s in-person requirement for dispensing the abortion drug, mifepristone, are encouraging,\u201d Matt Carpenter, the director of FRC Action, told The Washington Stand.<\/p>\n<p>The CWA poll further found that \u201cover 69% believe it is very or somewhat important in deciding who to vote for\u201d in the upcoming midterm election \u201cthat candidates oppose forcing female athletes to participate in sports and  locker rooms with biological boys\/men identifying as girls\/women.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Other topics that are hot button topics for voters this election season include the abortion drug, LGBT content that targets children, and child-mutilating gender transition surgeries.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCandidates running for office this year must recognize that voters are widely supportive of protecting women\u2019s health, the ability to raise children, fairness in women\u2019s sports, protecting children from gender transitions and from TV content with LGBTQ themes,\u201d said Penny Nance, CEO and president of CWA. \u201cWe are encouraged by the poll results, especially in this politically divisive time. This poll should serve as a roadmap for conservative candidates.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Talk has recently been abuzz about mifepristone, the abortion-inducing drug that many women can easily access through mail order. Attorney General Todd Blanche recently vowed during his Senate confirmation hearing to address the issue.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe [the Department of Justice] are trying to let the FDA do their work so that we can work to protect the lives of the unborn children and, frankly, the states\u2019 laws,\u201d Blanche told Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) earlier this month.<\/p>\n<p>CWA found that \u201cover 67% definitely or probably believe that the FDA should again require an in-person doctor\u2019s visit before dispensing the abortion drug,\u201d while 53% of voters believe that\u00a0protecting the unborn and reproductive policy the most important issue to them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a policy the FDA can take care of at any time, it just requires the political will to do so. Reinstating these safeguards are a minimum ask for pro-lifers, and as the polling shows, are popular among the electorate,\u201d Carpenter observed. \u201cAnd political will can be bolstered by polls like this. Republicans would be wise to embrace this socially conservative agenda, and take every opportunity now, while they enjoy control of the White House and Congress, to show voters they are aligned with these winning policies.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, a similar margin of men and women believe \u201ccompanies that pay for abortion services in their health policy or travel for an abortion should also help with employee childcare for those women who choose to give birth to their child.\u201d\u00a0Seventy-nine percent of women surveyed by CWA agreed with this statement, while 77% of men agreed as well.<\/p>\n<p>Fifty-nine percent of participants said that protecting children from gender ideology is the most important issue to them. This comes after House Republicans have recently put pressure on the FCC to put warning labels on kids\u2019 shows with controversial gender themes.<\/p>\n<p>The survey also found that \u201c60% definitely or probably believe it is concerning that a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/concernedwomen.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/CWA-Netflix-Report.pdf\">survey<\/a> found that 40% of Netflix shows that are rated for children contain LGBTQ+ themes, characters, and storylines.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the narrative of the cultural Left and the mainstream media, over 63% \u201csomewhat or strongly oppose allowing gender transition services, including puberty blockers or cross-sex hormones, to be dispensed to minors under 18 years of age.\u201d<\/p>\n<div><em>Quinn Delamater is a reporter for The Washington Stand.<\/em><\/div>\n<div style=\"background-color: #f7f7f7; color: #171717; display: flex;font-size: 16px;font-weight: 600;line-height: 1.5;margin: 24px 0;padding: 18px 20px 18px 30px;text-align: left;\">\n<div style=\"align-self: stretch;border-left: 3px solid #171717;flex-shrink: 0;padding-left: 20px;\"><\/div>\n<p><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/preferences\/source?q=https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/\">Choose The Western Journal as your preferred source on Google and never miss reporting that defends truth, protects freedom, and advances Western civilization<\/a><\/div>\n<p style=\"border: 1px solid #f5f5f5; padding: 16px;\">Advertise with The Western Journal and reach millions of highly engaged readers, while supporting our work. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/advertise-us\/?wj_source=article\">Advertise Today<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div style=\"position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"ff-fancy-header-container\"> \t\t\t \t<\/div>\n<div class=\"entry-submit-correction inner-content\">\n<div class=\"correction-form\">\n<form style=\"display: none;\">\n<div class=\"sc-name-field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* Name<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"name\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc--field\"> \t\t\t\t\t\t<label>* <\/label> \t\t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" name=\"\" required> \t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<label>* Message<\/label> \t\t\t\t\t<br \/> \t\t\t\t\t<textarea name=\"message\" required><\/textarea> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"required-message\" style=\"display: none; padding-bottom: 15px;\">* All fields are required.<\/div>\n<p> \t\t\t\t\t<input type=\"submit\" value=\"Submit\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault(); firefly_sc();\"> \t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-sc-confirm\" style=\"display: none;\">Success!<\/div>\n<\/p><\/form>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p> \t\t<script> \t\t\tfunction firefly_sc() { \t\t\t\tif( typeof window.captchaPublicKey == typeof undefined ){ \t\t\t\t\tconsole.error('window.captchaPublicKey is not defined'); \t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\tgrecaptcha.execute( window.captchaPublicKey, { action: 'submit_correction' } ).then( function( token ) { \t\t\t\t\tvar opts = { \t\t\t\t\t\taction:    'firefly_sc_submit', \t\t\t\t\t\tname:      document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"name\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\t:     document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tmessage:   document.querySelector( '.entry-submit-correction [name=\"message\"]' ).value, \t\t\t\t\t\tpost_id:   firefly_post_id, \t\t\t\t\t\tcap_token: token \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\tvar inputs = [ 'name', '', 'message' ];  \t\t\t\t\tfor( var i = 0; i < inputs.length; i++ ) if( !
