40 Straight Gallup Polls: Majority Says Abortion Should Be Illegal in All or Most Cases

(CNSNews) - In 40 straight Gallup polls over a span of 24 years, a majority of Americans have said that they believe abortion should be illegal in all or most circumstances.

In the latest Gallup survey examining the issue, which was conducted May 1-10, 53 percent said they believe abortion should be illegal in all or most circumstances.

The Gallup survey asks this question: “Do you think abortion should be legal under any circumstances, legal only under certain circumstances, or illegal in all circumstances?”

If the respondent says they believe abortion should be “legal only under certain circumstances,” Gallup asks this follow-up question: “Do you think abortion should be legal in most circumstances or only in a few circumstances?"

I suspect if they explained their definition of “abortion” they would get different answers...

It is a "people" issue, and should be decided by the people, at the state level, in every state. The federal government doesn't need to make it legal, or illegal, for that matter. Roe vs Wade was a mistake. There is no "right" to an abortion in the constitution. Read it, it's not there. Millions of babies have been murdered, both in and out of the womb, since Roe vs Wade. All so women could avoid the cost and inconvenience of raising a child that they conceived. Let the states make that decision for them, and let the state politicians be responsible for legislating their constituent's views. If New Yorkers want to let pregnant women kill their unborn, let New Yorkers make it legal. But, if Alabama covets the sanctity of life and wants it illegal in their state, let Alabamians make it illegal! No woman was denied access to an abortion prior to Roe vs Wade, but some had to travel to another state, if they wanted a legal abortion. SCOTUS errs from time to time, and this serious error needs to be fixed.
