In latest poll, 55 percent of respondents said abortion should be illegal in all circumstances or in all but a few circumstances
In 37 straight surveys conducted over the course of 21 years by the Gallup polling company, a majority of American have said that abortion should be illegal in all circumstances or in all but a few circumstances.
In the most recent survey, conducted May 6-10, a combined 55 percent of respondents said abortion should be illegal in all circumstances or in all but a few circumstances.
Specifically, 29 percent said abortion should be legal “under any circumstances,” 13 percent said it should be legal “under most circumstances,” 36 percent said it should be “legal only in a few circumstances,” and 19 percent said it should be illegal “in all circumstances.” Two percent said they had no opinion.
The 36 percent who said it should be legal in “only a few circumstances” and the 19 percent who said it should be illegal “in all circumstances” equaled 55 percent of all those surveyed.

With the science in - separate DNA, etc. - we all need to rethink this issue. The procedure itself should not be outlawed but it should not be used as a profit machine either (Planned Parenthood).
Those who find themselves pregnant should instead be given counseling and the alternatives and other options laid out for them. There ARE plenty of folks who will adopt.
There are plenty of folks who will adopt healthy white newborns.
Not nearly enough adopt the black, mixed race and/or handicapped children still waiting for homes.
Raising a severely handicapped child is not for everyone, like it or not. Little Corky might be a cute and cuddly five year old, but not so much as Hulking Horny Quasimodo at the age of twenty-five.

I disagree completely.
Adopting black babies has become a very cool thing. Lots of Hollywood folks want to adopt a black baby.
Adopting any type of baby because it is "cool" is morally and ethically reprehensible. It is a baby, not a statement (whatever that might possibly be).
Unfortunately, there are NOT nearly enough good homes for the oversupply of black and mixed race children.
