81% Would Restrict Abortion, Including 66% of Pro-choicers

Americans for years have been split on abortion, but a deeper dive into the issue finds that a remarkable 81 percent favor some kind of restriction, according to a newly-released survey.

A Marist poll conducted for the Knights of Columbus in advance of the annual March for Life to the U.S. Supreme Court Jan. 22 found that even 66 percent of pro-choice supporters would restrict abortion to the first three months of pregnancy.

The poll, done for the Knights since 2008, looks beyond the longstanding 44 percent to 50 percent divide between pro-life and pro-choice advocates.

Their goal is to wake Americans up to the results that the issue is more complicated and that there is a national consensus on some limits and much agreement between pro-lifers and pro-choicers.

The spirit enters the body on the 21st day of conception., that's how long abortion has to be carried out before being seen as a mortal sin.

"..The spirit enters the body on the 21st day of conception."

Where in the world did you get that?

Life begins at conception.. the process begins with the fertilization of the ovum and the first cell divisions. That is the most basic form of a human being. A life.

If you intentionally destroy it, you've committed murder.

"Life begins at conception.. "
You're correct but., spiritual life, in the case of humans, begins around the 21st day.
"Where in the world did you get that?"
It is among the spiritual teachings of Plejaren knowledge and the "Talmud Jmmanuel".
IMHO when humans finally embrace this spirituality, this fundamental humanity, we will have taken our next step in evolution as a race.

"Life begins at conception".

Considering that over 50% of "sperm-fertilized ovums" are involuntarily (and often unknowingly) evicted from the womb through natural causes, but in the first couple months, and these are called "god's will" or "an act of god"...

Then "God" is not only a proponent of abortion, but an enthusiastic abortionist himself.
