President Biden and the Pope can’t seem to agree on abortion. While Biden is vocal about his pro-choice beliefs, the Pope has likened getting an abortion to “hiring a hitman”.
When two of the world’s most powerful leaders can’t see eye to eye on an issue, it’s guaranteed to influence the public as well.
President Biden and the Pope can’t seem to agree on abortion.
Halcyon has launched a campaign trying to find out who the public stands with: President Biden, Nancy Pelosi, and the pro-choice camp? Or, Pope Francis, the Catholic Church, and those who stand up for the human right to life?
Sign the petition and let your voice be heard.
The Campaign
For this campaign, we circulated a petition to find out who stands with the Pope on the issue of abortion.
Halcyon set up a landing page explaining the opposing views between President Biden, who is pro-choice, and the Pope, who is pro-life.
Using social media, we drove users to a landing page where we break down the views of Biden and the Pope on the issue of abortion.
We then invited users to sign a petition in support of the Pope and his pro-life views.
The campaign was focused on the United States, however, as you’ll see, we had an interesting outlier group also participating.
The Results
62% of people who accessed the landing page opted to sign the petition.
29% of the people who signed the petition also left a comment. This means about 1 in 3 people decided to leave a comment when signing the petition.
In addition, of those that signed the petition, a whopping 86% also signed up for our email newsletter.
The campaign results told an interesting story about the public’s opinion on abortion.
Location:
As mentioned above, the campaign was circulated in the United States, however we were surprised to see a city from Sweden breaking into the top 10 locations.
- The top 9 locations who participated in the petition were from American states, with New York showing the most engagement
- A city in Sweden, Luleå, also showed up in the top 10
Demographics:
64.7% of users who signed the petition were females.
Age also played a role in the petition:
- 50.9% of users were older than 65
- 23.3% of users were aged 55-645
- 11.5% of users were aged 45-54
- 7.1% of users were aged 35-44

In the end the lowest cost of a petition signup only cost us $1.28.
