(CNSNews.com) – The vast majority of Americans, including those who label themselves pro-choice, favor restrictions on abortion, according to a Marist poll released Tuesday.
The Marist Institute for Public Opinion survey, conducted from Nov. 15 to the 22, questioned the positions of 1,686 U.S. adults on abortion issues, including whether they identified with a “pro-life” or “pro-choice” label. Forty-four percent identified as pro-life, and 51 percent as pro-choice.
The poll, which has been commissioned by the Knights of Columbus annually since 2008, found that 81 percent of Americans, including 82 percent of women and 66 percent of pro-choice supporters, would restrict abortion to - at most - the first three months of pregnancy. This eight in 10 number has been consistent since the survey’s 2008 inception.
Additionally, six in 10 Americans say abortion is "morally wrong," including one-third of pro-choice Americans.
The survey found that 55 percent of Americans would say that abortion ultimately does a woman more harm than good and that 27 percent of Americans who identify as pro-choice share this view.

ReplyDeleteI believe Democrats progressive liberals, libtards should have Head of the line privileges at all abortion clinics.
ReplyDeleteWhen you kill perfectly fine children just to sell their body parts you might want to reexamine yourself.
ReplyDeleteOf course, the actual figures from this survey flies in the face of the liberal talking points.. that 'most' Americans support "abortion rights".
