[quote]Forty-one years after the Supreme Court's landmark ruling in Roe v. Wade, two-thirds of the American population believe that decisions on abortion should be made between a woman, her family and her doctor, according to a HuffPost/YouGov poll conducted last week.
But a majority of the country's elected officials see things differently. Only 40 percent of Congress, one-third of all governors and a quarter of state legislatures support the legal right to have an abortion, according to a new report by NARAL Pro-Choice America. More than half of elected officials fully oppose legal abortion, a position held by only 14 percent of Americans, while a small fraction of lawmakers have a mixed voting record on the issue. [/quote]
I think that the most interesting part of this is how much the responses change depending on the wording of the question. For example, 47 percent of people think that abortion should be generally illegal, but only 24 percent think that "government has a right and obligation to pass restrictions on abortion" and 33 percent think that Roe v. Wade should be overturned. It would be great to know why people think so differently on questions that are generally the same.
Abortion should be legal.
And anyone who says "hurr adoption" is an idiot who doesn't know the pain of bearing children. Also, you don't care about children already wanting to be adopted.
