The Tide Has Shifted
NBC/WSJ poll: Majority, for first time, want abortion to be legal
By Mark Murray, NBC News Senior Political Editor As the 40th anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision takes place on Tuesday, a majority of Americans – for the first time – believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. What’s more, seven in 10 respondents oppose Roe v. Wade being overturned, which is the highest percentage on this question since 1989. “These are profound changes,” says Republican pollster Bill McInturff, who conducted this survey with Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart and his colleagues. McInturff adds that the abortion-related events and rhetoric over the past year – which included controversial remarks on abortion and rape by two Republican Senate candidates, as well as a highly charged debate over contraception – helped shaped these changing poll numbers. “The dialogue we have had in the last year has contributed … to inform and shift attitudes.” The 1973 Roe v. Wade decision established a woman’s constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. According to the poll, 54 percent of adults say that abortion should be legal either always or most of the time, while a combined 44 percent said it should be illegal – either with or without exceptions. |

Since our government seldom does what the majority wants, it's time to overturn roe vs Wade. |

Religion has nothing to do with it. I wish. The two most significant elements in anti-choice propaganda are underpinned not by a desire to protect life, but by superstitious religious beliefs and the need of insecure men to control women. In Colorado, there's a lawsuit against the Catholic church for a now dead pregnant plaintiff and twins she was carrying, all of whom died in a Catholic hospital without being properly attended. The Catholic church is trying to beg out of the suit by claiming life does not begin at conception. So, the Catholic church is "pro-life" unless money is involved. |
