The poll doesn't break down the various positions that are covered by "available, stricter limits", so there is no way for either of us to divine the percentages of exactly what the respondents meant. You know this already, and that's why you are hiding behind the unknowable.
I will put up my theory that the internal positions run the gamut of various nuances, from the very conservative "only in the case of incest, rape, and medical emergency" all the way up to "during the first 2 trimesters", and perhaps even "all except for partial birth abortion" against your truely wishful thinking that all respondents meant "only in the case of incest, rape, and medical emergency" any day.
Even most elected Republicans only attack partial birth and perhaps late-term abortion. That is pretty good proof right there that this is the main issue in the minds of Republicans.Most Republicans are not evangelicals who believe life begins at conception. That is a very small percentage of the public, and the GOP is one of only two major national parties, and will reflect popular opinion.
I've presented my case - complete with facts, figures, and common sense - and you have presented your case to the contrary. I have provided irrefutable evidence that Republicans are indeed split on the issue of abortion. I have shown that this is not a settled issue in the GOP, and the party is not monolithic in its thinking.
You, on the other hand, want to haggle over a mere 10%.
This is for others to decide now.
That didn't stop you up to this point. Are you now telling me you were *gasp* spinning the numbers without any factual basis? I'm shocked! LOL.

You go from that statement, replete with qualifiers, to saying:

You're one of a kind, counterpunch. ROFL!
