61% of Americans Oppose Abortion in ‘All’ or ‘Most’ Situations

Yesterday, Gallup released its latest research on abortion. The results show that 49 percent of the nation is “pro-choice,“ with an additional 45 percent classifying itself as ”pro-life.” According to Gallup:

This is similar to a year ago, when 45% were “pro-choice” and 47% “pro-life.” However, it is the first time since 2008 that the “pro-choice” position has had the numerical advantage on this Gallup trend.

61% of Americans Oppose Abortion in All or Most Situations

But, labels don’t always provide a full picture of public perception. It’s one thing to claim allegiance to one side or another, but it’s an entirely different matter to ask questions surrounding morality and legality.  When asked whether or not abortion is moral, the majority of Americans continue (51 percent) to believe that it is wrong, with a minority (39 percent) claiming that it is “morally acceptable.”

The public’s opinions regarding the legality of abortion are also intriguing:

Since 1994, Gallup has also asked those who think abortion should be legal under certain circumstances to say whether it should be legal in “most” or “only a few” circumstances. On this basis, Americans are rather conservative in their stance on abortion, with 61% now preferring that abortion be legal in only a few circumstances or no circumstances. By contrast, 37% want abortion legal in all or most circumstances.

The pattern here is certainly a bit cyclical, though it seems like America is becoming slightly more conservative on the issue.  Despite a greater proportion of Americans claiming that they are pro-choice, a majority prefers limitations on the circumstances in which abortion is permissible.

Meanwhile, ABC News reports that the abortion rate in America dropped 8 percent between 2000 and 2008.  Sadly, this rate actually increased about 18 percent among the nation’s poorest women. Watch the report, below:

      Don’t be completely dishonest. If you are a poor woman you get governemt money. If you choose to spend that on an abortion, then you’ve spent your own money? If the government gives hundreds of millions of dollars to Planned Parenthood, and they use it to pay a nurse who advises women on how to use birth control for half her day and spends the other half assisting abortions, or the government money goes to pay the rent for the clinc that also performs abortions, or uses our money to buy the necessary bandages, sponges, disinfectants, autoclave, disposal bags, etc. they’ve spent their own money. Sure pal. Our tax money never goes towards abortions.

      And we aren’t doing that now? So all of these criminals are the wanted children? I find your argument morally bankrupt. Your point of view seems to be that if we don’t support abortion then there will be a increase in crime. So using your logic there should be a sharp decline in crime especially in the poor neighborhood approximately 18 years after abortions were legalized that can be attributed to abortions. That did not happen.

      The Capps amendment makes it illegal for your tax dollars to be used for abortions except for rape, incest and to save the life of the mother. Statistically, out of ALL money they got (tax & donated) less than 3% is used for abortions total.

      Being that you like to run your mouth, care to tell me how many abortions your tax dollars actually support? Or are you just repeating crap you heard from the media rather than actually looking it up?

People like you should go witness multiple abortions in person, close up and in detail.

A tough audience for anti-Roe v. Wade proponents.

    Interesting to note that there’s no effective difference between younger and middle-aged crowds when it comes to the “legal in any/most” subject, but older groups are much more opposed. I suppose this means that as the years go by, abortion will become a bit more acceptable overall, assuming views do not change.

      Possible, but not necessarily likely. The 55+ crowd almost entirely lived in a time when abortions were not legally protected. Most likely their views, which were formed in their early childhood, have not varied. Abortion was (and to an extent, is) stigmatized and derided; to their generation, that’s what “bad girls” did. Today it’s more “what a terrible mistake” than “you’re kicked out of your family, you slut.”

      It does seem telling that the youngest generation is not more pro-abortion (unlike, say, gay marriage, where the youngest generation is overwhelmingly more for it than their parents). It’s quite possible that this will be a generational plateau, and in 50 years opinions will not change.

      What about rape? That would be unfornuate, truly, but two wrongs do not make a right, and instead of one victim you now have two. The fetus should not be killed, even for this.

      Why does PP not advocate for adoption?????? There are more than enough childless couples out there who would welcom a baby into their homes. And, Planned Parenthood could be responsible for THIS, placement of unwanted babies to loving homes rather than be accomplice to murder.

    This is the single MOST important issue in America today. When does life begin?

    There is NO POINT at which “life” did not exist in order to bring forth NEW LIFE. Were either the EGG or the SPERM, “dead”, NEW LIFE would not have taken place.

    EVERY HUMAN BEING begins as ONE CELL, then in geometric progression the cells begin to multiply; 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536, 131072, 262144, 524288….these numbers, alone, add up to more than 1million cells and it is all accomplished in a matter of MINUTES from the time the EGG and SPERM unite.

    You can no more LIVE without your 1st cell than your first 1 million cells as ALL begin with the FIRST CELL.

    In AMERICA, it WAS and IS DECLARED. WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF EVIDENT, THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL, AND THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED, BY THEIR CREATOR, WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS, AMONG WHICH ARE “LIFE”, “LIBERTY”, AND THE “PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS”….

    That “LIFE”, though “imperfect”, is an INNOCENT LIFE and until THAT LIFE does something worthy of death, it has the RIGHT TO LIFE, and NO ONE has the right to “willfully” TERMINATE an INNOCENT LIFE for any reason on earth. To PLAN the termination of an innocent life is MURDER in the First Degree, and the one who willfully, and with afore thought, terminates an “INNOCENT LIFE” shall certainly pay with their own.

      With all the Abortion is Legal argument aside. Abortion or Pro-Choice probably wouldn‘t be as big an issue if taxpayers wouldn’t be forced to fund it by the Government. If an irresponsible woman wants to have an abortion she have to PAY for it with her own money. If the man agrees then he should help fund her abortion. I would wager the individual responsibility factor would go up if these baby killers would have to pay for it themselves.

      Locked.. who cares what 4 out of 5 Americans support?? Is that stat supposed to convince me that abortion is now ok because 80% of Americans support it? (Whether those stats are true or not is not even the point).
      What about our divine creator? What do you think He thinks about abortion? That’s a little more important than what a nation of self-serving people choose to think.

      @JJ

      The statistics are what this entire article is about. When you leap off the topic and try to justify policies with religious ferver, you’ve lost the fight. We’re not a theocracy. You’re more than allowed to have your own opinion, but if you want to do something with it then bring something useful to the table. There are many legal paths to banning abortion, but you convince no one with arguments that only based on the messages you took away from your specific idea of religion.

      First, I suggest you actually read the article. That destroys your first insult. It also destroys your second insulting sentence. Second, I doubt you are any more intelligent or educated than JJ, and probably do not need to tell him that the USA is not a theocracy.

      Who says you can’t have an opinion? Argument I always heard is you can’t make the decision for someone else. When you’re pregnant (not too likely to be soon, I’d suppose), you can decide to have or not have an abortion. Anyone can have an opinion and share it; welcome to the first amendment.

      Well I understand that because I have been told the same thing!! Before I was married when I was in the Marines. I got my girlfriend pregnant she said she was gonna have an abortion I said the hell you are!! If you dont want the responsibility then bring my baby all the way and then sign papers and go away!! I will take on all the responsibility you just disappear. She did then I reluctantly had a paternity test done and found out the baby wasnt mine!! wtf fing word that begins with h and o, but that was also my fault for even being with her ( bad choice) young guy no excuse. Basically just people want to have casual free sex but dont think about the possible consequences that may happen as a result.

      I would never want a girlfriend of mine to have an abortion, but I would never say it was anything but her decision in the end.I can sympathize with your feelings, but I don‘t believe it’s my right to tell a woman “No. You MUST do this.”

      @ADouglass

      No offense, but if you woman is getting knocked up by another man, I think your first problem is who you’re sleeping with. Second is probably the rage: you’d yell at a woman and force her to carry a child? No way. Not your body, not your choice. Explain what you want, but do it like a man, being firm, presenting facts, and not lying. Don’t do it like a child, yelling, demanding, and throwing a tantrum.

      Your last rant would be an example of the latter, not the former. I’m sorry you made a mistake, but as you yourself said, you set yourself up for it. Don’t take the anger out on me; look to the Lord to quench the hellfire in your soul, and potentially talk to a doctor about the emotional trauma you suffered and a lawyer about the child support. I wish you the best.

      @Jaycen
      I agree, the prospective father’s opinion must be considered. However, the decision itself I feel is ultimately up to the woman. As I suggested to ADouglass before he exploded, know who you‘re sleeping with if you think it’ll come back to haunt you. If your girlfriend doesn’t want to have a child, there’s no reason to act shocked if she chooses her (completely legal) option for an abortion.

      Wow. Her actions were not right, but yours are revolting. May you spend many a night praying for salvation. Instead of being the bigger man, swallowing your pride and raising the child you demanded be brought into the world, you shunned her and the child you pledged to raise.

I had a paternity test done after being told by my mother. The baby wasnt mine why would I keep paying child support. But like I said if you knew how to read where did any of what you assume happen or where did I say any of that? Answer nowhere you are simply adding words where you should have not!! Judgemental one and oh so perfect!! By the way information that wasnt presented by me and was by someone who was not their (you) is not at all correct right or true at all. So do you pretend to be perfect or do you just pass yourself off as that? I often find that those that do often have skeletons in their closets like wearing dresses or liking little boys etc etc. Also she decided to keep the baby we broke up I moved duty stations so no I wouldnt take care of a child that wasnt mine..

      I find it pretty amazing that we even have this discussion as to who has what rights. What I mean is, while I agree that the father should be able to have some say in the matter—IF there was even a discussion about it—I disagree that it even should get to that point. How in the world have we gotten to where it even becomes a discussion as to what the rights are and whose those rights belong to?? I mean, the person inside the mother IS NOT the mother’s body. It is a human being unto itself and that baby has MORE rights to be born than any woman or man has the right to stop it from being born. Therefore the discussion as to whether the woman has the right to choose is really a moot point because while she does have the rights to her own body, the baby she carries is not her own body.

Abortion is legal, and 80% of the country (according to this poll) agrees it should be. You’re part of the 20%, and that’s fine for your opinion… just try not to act on, please.

      “They” call it abortion. I call it “Murder” and it is. Just stop and think about it prayerfully for once. We as a country are more outraged by an animal being mistreated than an unborn child. Yes, I‘m outraged by people who hurt animals more than you’d know, but thinking about killing an unborn child is barbaric. And Obama voted for late term abortion which is even more barbaric and sickening.

      We read in history where babies are sacrificed to the “Gods” and think they must be savages to do this. Well???? Looks like the same thing to me. Barbaric and savage for easy disposal but God knows who you are.

When you have enough to afford a brat, you slide the special ATM card through the slot on the girdle, the funds get deducted and placed in a “For Baby Raising only” account, and then the lock disengages allowing the woman to spread her legs. If after a doctor declares her non-prego, the lock is engaged again and the funds transferred back to her regular account.

Being an Army Colonel made him a realist by necessity due to the life or death decisions he had to make in Afghanistan and Iraq. He is a frontline leader not afraid or timid of confrontation and speaks his mind. He is not trying to be a career politician, who speaks out of both sides of his mouth to placate to the masses and secure a reelection. He believes in responsibility and to wit, when you have maxed out your credit cards you dont go and get another ie raise the debt ceiling. He is a leader in politics, but not a politician.

      Let’s give up welfare and stop paying children of the inner city to have children. Let’s teach their parents abt parenting properly. Children are a gift fm God not a piece of tissue to cut away. If you can’t afford them, consider adoption.

      God is not amused by abortion. History is littered with dead societies who have sacrificed children for various reasons. Ours is next…it’s what happens when mortals try to assume the position of the Immortal One and defy His laws and reject His loving kindness.

      On August 18, 2005, Israeli settlers were forcibly removed from their homes in Gaza by Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. Sharon was acting under tremendous pressure from US President George W. Bush. Less than four months later Sharon suffered a stroke and remains in a coma. It was during that mid-August time frame that what would become the deadliest American hurricane in 77 years was forming. At the same time homosexuals in New Orleans were planning a large rally. Hurricane Katrina slammed into the US coast on August 25 and left some 1,836 deaths in its wake. The news media blistered Bush on his lack of response to the people who suffered and died from Katrina.
      Fast forward to today. The current president has placed continued pressure on Israel to return to indefensible 1967 borders and give the rest of the land to hostile Arabs and terrorists in the name of peace. In his arrogance, he has publicly sided with Islam and Islamic revolution throughout the Middle East in making it US policy to overthrow governments there in the name of reform. As in Egypt, democracy ushered in control by the previously banned Muslim Brotherhood, another terrorist group, now supported by the White House. During this time frame, tornados and floods have covered the United States in record numbers. Floodwaters have been so deep that the Mississippi River flowed backwards.

      Ah yes as my father used to say….statistics don’t lie, liars use statistics. This issue is so old and out of touch to be a yawn at best. Roe v. Wade while not perfect and perhaps in need of some revision given the latest technology is the best the government can do and all they should do. I am surprised that a group which wants smaller government and claims to be steadfast in support of individual freedom would have a problem with a women’s RIGHT to reproductive freedom, at least in the context of Roe v. Wade. The only questionable procedure is late term abortions which should be technically illegal under R v W. Seriously, move on people… worry about your own rights.

      No, it‘s not just because he’s black. Don’t be ridiculous. You’re thinking of the Left wing Obama phenomenon.

      It’s because Col West is VERY conservative. He’s the real thing. He’s a battle hardened, loyal soldier, so he’s not going to let a bunch of Left wing flower children scare him from speaking his mind. We feel that with West, conservative things will REALLY start to happen. He is not a stinking Rhino.

      Plus, the Left wing zealots consistently try to shout down his public speeches. THAT is a very, very good sign.

      WEST IN 2012!! American NEEDS you Col West. Please, please run..

      ABORTION SHOULD BE LEGAL FOR ANY WOMAN! Not necessarily at the taxpayers expense but it’s selfish for other people besides the two mates involved to think that they have any say whatsoever. It is soo incredibly hypothetical and abstract to consider that the fetal human has a right to be born. Humans only become actual beings through many months of exploration, data-sensory recording, and independent reactions; that’s why none of us can remember our first few years of life, we weren’t ourselves we were building our computer/brains! You uber-right wing evangelicals are just opposed because you’re afraid the second coming of christ will be aborted. Admit it!

      @thelonious. Okay. Explain to me how we, as a nation, can recognize an Eagle resides inside of a fertilized Eagle egg, but we are unable to recognize the same in a Human egg? What makes an Eagle more valuable than a Human Being? I can be arrested, fined and/or jailed for destroying an Eagle egg. Please explain.

      It’s amazing that my Border Collie knows that Mothers lay down their lives for their Babies – Babies don’t lay down their lives for their Mothers. God help the man or beast that would try to harm one of her pups!

      What kind of twisting of thought does it take for a Mother to so separate herself from her own Baby, that she can come to so despise her own Baby, that she will choose to kill her own Baby?

      “Why would anyone support Abortion ?”

      Because I do not believe Government has a right to dictate morality or exercise control over a woman’s reproduction. Maybe you would have people just stone pregnant women?? I hope you will step up to the plate and pay for the health,education and welfare of these unwanted children if you have your way. I doubt that you would though.

      @ locked your basic point is also mute you want to force the man to just shut up when it in fact is also part of the man, i.e. it takes two. Is that so dopes like yourself can spread their vile seed with no consequences. Man and Woman both need to know that if you are having sex and make a baby its your responsibility to take care of the baby not get rid of it because its inconvenient. And that is exactly what I did if you knew how to read or comprehend!! Get out of your skirt and stop touching little boys judgemental one, peace out!!

      What kind of thought process does it take for a Mother to not want her own Baby?

      There are a whole lot of people who are unable to have children, who would LOVE to adopt those “unwanted” babies. Sadly, those aborting Mothers have so convinced themselves that their Babies are unwanted by them, that they can’t see beyond themselves and into the happiness those Babies would bring to childless people.

      In spite of the lies those Mothers tell themselves to convince themselves that they are not carrying a Human Baby from the moment of conception – They Are Carrying A Live Human Baby!

      jrook, in typical liberal attempts to re-direct the discussion says “..I am surprised that a group which wants smaller government and claims to be steadfast in support of individual freedom would have a problem with a women’s RIGHT to reproductive freedom,” First, there is no right to reproductive freedom enumerated in the Constitution, however there is a right to life. Second, you mention individual freedom but only speak to the mother’s rights. You typically forget the rights of the totally defenseless human she conceived. Mister, there are two “individuals” involved, and you will kill the one that can’t fight back. Real man much?

      bobodu says”C’mon….keeping pushing your morality on others. Jam your own version of Sharia Law down our throats.” So, Bubu, aren’t you in essence saying “Instead, let me stuff my murderous morality down your throats”? In other words, it’s okay for you to do what you chastise others for?

      Bubu, you say “I hope you will step up to the plate and pay for the health,education and welfare of these unwanted children if you have your way.” So, you are against paying to educate children you don’t want? Then don’t conceive them. How many of them are yours so far?

      Those who oppose abortion argue that it is Infanticide. Do they believe that any women who have aborted a fetus are guilty of 1st degree murder and subject to the death penalty? I mean, if we concede the premise that upon conception a zygot is a full human being, terminating them is murder. It is estimated that over 60% of pregnancies in NYC end in abortion, should we try and execute these women for murder?? This reasoning is what has led me to be pro-choice. Life may begin at conception, but the child’s personality and consciousness are un-developed. I haven’t been convinced that we are discussing an actual person but a potential person. In a decision between the life of the fetus and the monther, it is whether to side with the actual over the potential.
