Abortion Poll Finds Americans' Attitudes Moving in Pro-Life Direction

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A new poll on the topic of abortion
finds that the attitude Americans have on the controversial political
issue is moving in the pro-life direction. The Washington Post /ABC
news survey find a six percent shift in public opinion towards the pro-
life direction in the last six months.
The media outlets conducted a poll from December 6 to 9 of 1,136
American adults and the survey contained a three percent margin of
error.
The poll asked respondents, "Do you think abortion should be legal in
all cases, legal in most cases, illegal in most cases or illegal in
all cases?"
The wording of the poll is cause for some concern because it doesn't
identify when abortions are done so respondents can identify the exact
cases when they support or oppose abortions.
While the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a research arm of Planned
Parenthood, shows that fewer than two percent of all abortions are
done in cases of rape, incest or to save the mother's life, most
Americans think those "hard case" abortions occur much more often.
Still, the poll is instructive because it finds the pro-life margin is
increasing.
The latest results find that 53 percent of Americans think abortion
should be legal with 18 percent saying in all cases and 35 percent
saying in most cases.
The survey found 44 percent of Americans take a pro-life position
saying abortions should be illegal, with 27 percent saying most should
be illegal and 17 percent saying all abortions should be prohibited.
That 53-44 percent split is a change from the same Washington Post-ABC
News survey conducted in July, which found a 57-42 percentage point
split.
That means the pro-abortion side has seen its margin shrink in the
poll from 15 percent to 9 percent in the span of six months.
Other surveys with more accurate questions on when Americans oppose
abortion find a pro-life split with about 55 percent opposing most or
all abortions and 45 percent wanting to keep most or all abortions
legal.
A recent Fox News poll reveals that a majority of Americans oppose the
overwhelming majority of abortions that take place in the United
States and a Bloomberg/Los Angeles Times survey found 50 percent of
Americans opposed all or almost all abortions.
Surveys from CBS News reveal that a majority of Americans oppose
abortions in about 98 percent of all cases.

I think we can attribute some of the shifts in society away from the leftist
'dumbing down of America and secrecy clandestine shame crews to the
internet's ability to inform the people of what they were not being told in
the past.

No idea who you are addressing, since none of those adjectives
describe me.
They are covered by FREEDOM OF SPEECH!
That does not make your statements true, nor change the fact that
those lies are typical of the tactics that fundamentalists use. And
the actions that you described ARE tactics, and they are ones that
fundamentalists use.

There's a lie right out of the gate, John-Boy. Given that, how can we
take anything else you say seriously?

I see I can add math to the list of things you people don't
