December 2012: A Marist poll commissioned by the Knights of Columbus, titled “Abortion in America: Trends over Time”, finds that 10% of Americans believe abortion should be illegal in all cases; 12% say it should only be legal to save the life of the mother; 34% say it should be legal only in cases of rape or incest or to save the life of the mother; and 27% believe it should be legal – at most – in the first three months of pregnancy. Six percent say abortion should be legal in the first six months of pregnancy and 11% believe it should always be legal.
