[Arthur Wildfire! March]

In 1989, a wave of polls concerning abortion took place. In a Newsweek poll (July 17, 1989) 74% voted to require parental consent for minors seeking abortion, and 88% supported mandatory counseling for women considering an abortion. In a Los Angeles Times survey, 61% considered abortion immoral, and 57% thought of it as murder.
Boston Globe (March 31), New York Times (January 22), Los Angeles Times (March 19), and Newsweek (April 24) conducted polls asking under what circumstances abortion should remain legal. The average results are:
Life/Health of Mother........................................90%
Rape/Incest..................................................75%
Fetal Handicap...............................................65%
Can't Afford.................................................40%
Too Many Children............................................40%
Emotional Strain.............................................35%
To Finish School.............................................28%
Not Married..................................................25%
As Birth Control.............................................16%
Sex Selection.................................................2%

Obviously, that's an old poll. I invite you to show other polls that specifically mention different reasons for abortions.

Polls like that are not uncommon. But yet, the status quo remains and is not in jeopardy.

That's because enough women know that while they are against it, they like having it ready for them if they need it. It beats having an angry cuckolded hubby and a messy divorce. Most women go for quietly maintaining the status quo - get rid of the problem, keep hubby in the dark, and remember that tender memory at the hands of the hunky stud who knocked her up while hubby was away.

It brings me no pleasure to say this - but I think it's true.
