Dear Clorinox,

Most people think that abortion should be legal in a few circumstances.

However, polls consistently show that 65% - 70% of Americans believe that abortion should be restricted to cases of rape, incest, and the life (not health) of the mother.

As these represent about 96% of all abortions, that means that a large majority of Americans believe that abortion should be illegal in about 96% of current cases.

Although I'd go further, I'd be delighted to make illegal 96% of all abortions currently performed.

"polls consistently show that 65% - 70% of Americans believe that abortion should be restricted to cases of rape, incest, and the life (not health) of the mother."

Please cite me a referance to one of these polls.
I am quite interested.

I certainly agree that the issue should be decided by the people, and not by the courts.

Then those polls must be wrong because they sure don't vote that way. Probably closer to the truth would be that while most Americans don't like abortion they also don't want it be illegal.
