And this means what exactly? Most Americans support abortion, so I suppose that makes it right.

Most Americans support abortion in very limited instances. The polls are always referendums on whether the practice should be outlawed entirely.

Everyone but the most dense know its wrong to tie our troops hands when fighting an enemy bent on destroying us. McCain and others grabbed onto this anti-terrorism, not because they thought it was right but because they thought it scored political points.

The problem that this poll shows is that those political points are not there. The problem with abortion is that it is both wrong yet many support it and can be used to obtain political advantage.

Hi sheltonmac-

What are your feelings about using coercion/torture on a committed Islamic terrorist to obtain attack information if the life of your mother, father, sister, brother, husband, wife, son, daughter, boyfriend, or girlfriend is on the line?

Should those gentle innocents die because the U.S. doesn't wish to employ certain interrogation techniques?

A false conclusion based on a false premise.
I don't believe a majority of Americans support late term killings. Not even close.

Just as most Americans do not support the rampant intrusion of the "pervert" lifestyle in our daily life.

And yet we must deal with that, too.

You're wrong. Not any more.

"Most Americans support abortion, so I suppose that makes it right."

Actually I'm not sure that's correct. Maybe the right to an abortion but not the act of abortion.

It means any national level politician that thinks it's a good idea to invest their political capital into this issue will probably be disappointed with their return on the investment.
