More Americans “Pro-Life” Than “Pro-Choice” for First Time
Also, fewer think abortion should be legal “under any circumstances”
PRINCETON, NJ -- A new Gallup Poll, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves "pro-life" on the issue of abortion and 42% "pro-choice." This is the first time a majority of U.S. adults have identified themselves as pro-life since Gallup began asking this question in 1995.

I've always been skeptical of the number of pro-choicers as the questions were worded in a dishonest manner. If you were generally pro-life but would allow an abortion to a pregnant 9 year old who had been raped or a woman who would be killed by the pregnancy, they would classify you as pro-choice.
Did you know that 6% of young women have gone to the ANTI abortion side in a year? I loved hearing that...actually made me weepy.
Shoprat's right about the question. For example, I'm reckoning that had I been asked "Are you glad America's fighting in IRaq", I'd say "Absolutely NOT" but I DID support that we were there...GLAD we're there, heck no, I'd rather we were all at peace, right!? This probably applies to abortion, too, as shoprat wisely said.
