Poll: Most Americans want to prohibit abortions

A majority want abortions greatly restricted, if not prohibited

WASHINGTON DC, January 26 (CNA) - A new CBS News poll has found that a majority of Americans want to prohibit abortions in all or most cases or want greater restrictions. The poll results are consistent with the results of a 2006 poll, reported by LifeNews.com.

According to the poll, 47 percent of Americans want to prohibit all or most abortions and 16 percent want them to be greatly restricted.About 30 percent of those polled want to limit abortions to the very rare cases of rape, incest or danger to the life of the mother. Twelve percent want abortions allowed only when the pregnancy threatens the mother's life. Five percent said abortions should always be illegal. Only 31 percent of those polls want to permit abortion in all cases.

The poll was conducted from Jan. 18 to 21 and it surveyed 1,168 adults nationwide.The CBS poll is backed-up by other recent polls, such as one by Zogby, which found that 69 percent of voters think that federal funds should not be used for abortions. 69 percent also support parental notification for girls 16 or younger and 55 percent say the notification law should apply to girls 18 and younger.

My comments:

So the truth comes out. Are you listening Hillary, Barack Obama and all you other loyal pro-death politicians or are you still determined to push your personal pro-death agenda off on others?
