New Poll Shows Support for Legal Abortion Drops to Lowest Level in 15 Years

Washington, DC -- A new poll conducted by Pew Research finds the support for legal abortions has dropped to its lowest level in 15 years.

The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted March 31-April 21 among 1,521 adults, finds President Barack Obama could be sparking a shift to the pro-life side of the abortion debate.

Let’s hope the trend continues, as President Bush always claimed, we will only conquer the horror of abortion when we have changed the hearts and minds of the people. I would add that educating young people is probably up there as well.

Yeah, I’ve been working on my fiancee. He is not as strident as I am about it, but he is up to thinking it should only be legal in rape/incest or health of the mother.
