Gallup Poll: Majority of Americans Pro-Life on Abortion, Highest Levels in 15 Years (original link: http://www.lifenews.com/nat5053.html)
From the article:
The Gallup survey, conducted May 7-10, finds 51% of Americans calling themselves pro-life and just 42 percent saying they are “pro-choice” and supporting legal abortions.
The poll finds a plurality of women say they are pro-life — with 49 percent saying so and just 44 percent saying they are “pro-choice.” Men favor the pro-life position on a 54 to 39 percent margin. Both numbers are record highs for the pro-life position.
The 9 percent pro-life majority is a stark change from last year, when the Gallup survey showed a 6 percent majority in favor of abortion. Before the current poll Gallup had the pro-life percentage at its highest at 46 percent in both August 2001 and May 2002.
