But 71% of Americans want abortion kept legal in some form.

That number is absolute crap. Where did you find it, the NARAL website?

Most polls I've seen on abortion are in the range of one-third oppose all abortions starting with the day of conception, one-fourth support all abortions right up to the day before birth, and the rest waffle, depending on things such as the duration of pregnancy and whether rape or incest are involved.

Admittedly most of these polls are from MSM sources. But I've never seen a credible poll indicating that a majority of the population supports a total, day one of pregnancy ban regardless of circumstances.

No, actually it was right here on FreeRepublic about 5 years ago. About 50% of Americans want abortion to remain legal but restricted to the first trimester, 21% want it outlawed, and 29% want abortion on demand with no restrictions.

Have a nice day now.
