Proabortion ain't a majority any more, pal.

It never was. Pro-choice, on the other hand...

Polls Show Majority Oppose Unrestricted Abortion

SUZANNE HAUGH, Special To The Bulletin

Published: February 8, 2007

ATLANTA—Recent polls point to an emerging pro-life attitude among the American public, including the post-Roe generation of young adults.

“There has been an interesting series of polls … indicating that the American public tends to be pro-life,” said Deirdre McQuade, spokesperson for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities. “People with a pro-life attitude don’t necessarily call themselves pro-life. But when you start asking questions about when abortion should be permitted, and break it down, it doesn’t map out the same as what Roe v. Wade has ushered in.”

According to Zogby International, which has tracked public opinion on many topics in many countries since 1984, a total of 56 percent of 1,209 respondents from across the nation agreed that either abortion should be illegal (18 percent) or that there should be limits on abortion (38 percent). These limits include making abortion legal only when the mother’s life is in danger (15 percent) or legal when the mother’s life is in danger or in cases of rape and incest (23 percent). Since abortions actually performed under these circumstances are “extremely rare,” the Zogby study suggests that a majority of Americans oppose “approximately 96 percent of all abortions.”

Also in the poll conducted in 2004, close to 51.6 percent of young adults, ages 18 to 29, called themselves pro-life, and 65 percent of them believe abortion should not be permitted once an unborn baby’s heartbeat begins (usually around day 21 of the first month).
