I disagree. I think that if you did a poll: should abortion be legal?, I think a majority would say yes.

That said, abortion rights should be left to the states to decide.

All the polls ...No except for life of mother [some add rape and incest] but elective abortion... overwhelmingly majority say NO.

Why should we have the right to kill the unborn in the first place?

Actually, most Americans are against abortion.

That's right, but we have a supreme court that acts like a bunch of little Czars.

Depends. Zogby had a poll that got some exposure last April. When you add rape, incest, and life of the mother, brainwaves or hearbeat, the public is decidedly pro-life.

Youth are the most pro-life, actually.

The majority of Americans are opposed to abortion-on-demand, but support it for the life of the mother or rape/incest.
