Center for Reclaiming America: A new poll commissioned and conducted by CBS News finds that nearly half of Americans either want greater restrictions on abortion or prohibition of abortion in all or most cases. Of the 1,168 adults who responded to the poll, only 31% said that they want abortion permissible in all situations, while 47% said that abortion should be prohibited in all or most situations and 16% wanting greater restrictions.The results are close to those of a similar poll conducted in Jan. 2006, which said that 51% wanted abortion prohibited. While the number appears to have dropped marginally, it is not all bad news. According to National Review’s Ramesh Ponnuru, “The good news for pro-lifers is that in the latest poll, 47% of the public says that abortion should be generally banned. The bad news is that there seems to be a bit of a leftward trend.” Other polls do not necessarily confirm Ponnuru’s observation. For example, a March, 2006 Zogby poll found that 69% of voters agree that using federal funds to pay for abortions should be prohibited. [Click for more]
