Woman Trend conducted a poll in April 2005 and found that 62 percent of respondents fell into the pro-life category: 17 percent said abortion should never be legal; 14 percent said abortion should be legal only when the life of the mother is in danger; 31 percent said abortion should be legal only when the mother’s life is in danger or in cases of rape or incest.

The same study found that only 35 percent of Americans were pro-choice. Of these, only 10 percent said abortion should be legal for any reason at any time during a woman’s pregnancy. The remaining believed restrictions—either after three months or six months—should be imposed. <<


Did you catch the lie?

It's in the second paragraph. 25% were pro choice with restrictions (three or six month restrictions). That means that Partial Birth Abortions are opposed by 87% of the people questioned (it is rarely needed medically). Somewhere between 62% and 87% want restrictions on after 1st trimester abortions.

That sounds closer to the 65% of the people oppose abortion with more women opposing it than men.

Interesting. Thanks for the ping!

Every woman I know who considers herself to be pro-choice is anti-abortion but doesn't want it to be a crime.
