From Pew:
Today, a 57% majority of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 40% think it should be illegal in all or most cases. These views are little changed from a year ago, though the share saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases is now higher than it was in the fall of 2015, when Congress battled over funding for Planned Parenthood (51% legal, 43% illegal).

the same polls that said 99.9% support hillary.
Wow! Talk about Fake News. 80%? Yeah, right!
The questions are too general and unspecific to make the poll results at all meaningful.
There are major divides between the various “legal under this(these) condition(s) only” and “legal no matter what”.

“How to Lie with Statistics”
Take poll at whore houses and curb crawlers.
On the underlying question moral question discussed here, nothing addresses it better than the simple logic of this quotation from Mother Teresa, who, at the National Prayer Breakfast in Washington, DC on February 3, 1994, as cited above, stated: "And if we accept that a mother can kill even her own child, how can we tell other people not to kill one another?"
Mother Teresa's declaration may be the most powerful statement from which to begin discussions of where a person or group stands on all the questions of life and liberty.
The sole reason these rights were deemed unalienable is that both are derived from the Creator--not from the mother or father, and not from government or judicial decision. What is "granted" by human decision also can, by implication, be withheld.
"The God who gave us life, gave us liberty at the same time: the hand of force may destroy, but cannot disjoin them (life and liberty)," said Thomas Jefferson.
"The world is different now. . . and yet the same revolutionary beliefs for which our forefathers fought are still at issue around the globe--the belief that the rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God." - John F. Kennedy, Inaugural Address
That understanding underlies every other consideration embodied in our Declaration of Independence and every protection of our Constitution. It is the very basis of our rights to life and liberty, of laws to protect them, and it distinguishes ours from other forms of government.
When we fail to acknowledge that foundation of our liberty, then we risk liberty itself for future generations, for where does the right to choose who lives and who does not really end?
That is why the question is of vital importance in each election. Already, we have deprived millions of their Creator-endowed rights to life and liberty, and our nation must be weaker for their loss. We need leaders who understand the implications and potential consequences of departing from our founding principles.
In recent decades, technological advances have enabled us to observe the characteristics and actions of God's tiniest creations in the womb. Unlike previous generations who could not see, we have no excuse for imagining that these are mere blobs of tissue labeled "fetuses." In their early weeks, we now can see that they are living babies who will continue on to possess life and liberty if we do not "destroy" both. Indeed, they are simply smaller versions of ourselves.
Questions on the economy, taxes, threats from terrorists, health care--all are considerations at this election time. One, however, may be basic to all others. Who will best protect the underlying premise of our Constitution--and the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn?
Promises are illusive and cheap. One fact is indisputable, however: Democrats are, generally, committed to the Far Left's agenda on this matter, and that agenda is not compatible with our Constitution's premise.
That’s a new one for me. I really like it.
I will remember it and use it! Appropriate and ear-catching.
I've heard those 3 conditions for as long as I can remember. I would like to know how many of those that aborted children due to rape and incest ended with the male arrested for the crime? I would also like to know what specific health condition can save the life of the mother by aborting the child?
Whenever I ask this to a pro-abortion person, I get blank stares or an angry response. I assume both come from the fact that they have bought into propaganda rather than the fact based truth.
I've met several people through the year that have had abortions. None were due to rape, incest or their health. It was always post fertilization birth control. I'm not saying that it's always that but it seems to be the most common reason I've run into.
First thing I thought.
BTW, life and liberty begins at conception.
Cases of rape,incest or health of mother situations are extremely rare.
Here’s another one about statistics:
There are lies, darn lies and statistics...
” I would also like to know what specific health condition can save the life of the mother by aborting the child? “
C Everett Koop, our former surgeon general, said there was none. And that was decades ago. Medical knowledge has advanced even further since then.
Even if there were such a case, we could still take the baby out and try to keep him/her alive. Taking it out in little pieces or as a burnt cadaver hurts just as bad as removing whole IMO
And one ovary
Touché.
Well said.
