“BTW, the majority of the American public favor banning abortion except in the cases of rape, incest and the mother’s life being endangered”
Can you give a source for that? I was just wondering about this very thing. The polls I could find showed a majority contending abortion should be legal in all cases + most cases, versus those saying it should be illegal in most cases + all cases.

In a poll released Friday by Zogby International, a respected polling firm, a total of 56 percent agreed with one of the following pro-life views: abortion should never be legal (18 percent), legal only when the life of the mother is in danger (15 percent) or legal only when the life of the mother is in danger or in cases of rape or incest (23 percent).
Since abortions in cases of rape or incest or those necessary to save the life of the mother are extremely rare, that means a majority of Americans oppose approximately 96 percent of all abortions.
