So 82% say legal sometimes, 18% never.

Rape, incest, life of the mother

I think Pres. Trump is a rape/life of mother pro-lifer.

“So 82% say legal sometimes, 18% never.”

---

I would have been with the 18% who answered “never” because I interpret the question to include within “never” an abortion ban with no specific exceptions but in which ending the newborn’s life unintentionally in an attempt to save the mother’s life would be permitted.

And the 35% who say that abortion should be illegal in “most” circumstances favor exceptions for things like cases of rape or incest, but some of them may have answered that way because they thought that an abortion law with an exception for the life of the mother would be a law that bans abortion in “most” cases.

In any event, anyone who wants abortion banned in all or most cases is in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade, which prohibits states from banning abortion in “most” cases.

18% always illegal vs 82% sometimes legal.

OR

53% almost always illegal vs 47% always or almost always legal.

Both based on the same stats (below).

See how important wording is?

On May 1-10 of this year, 29 percent said they thought abortion should be legal under any circumstances, 14 percent said they thought it should be legal under most circumstances, 35 percent said they thought it should be legal only in a few circumstances, and 18 percent said they thought it should be illegal in all circumstances.
