GALLUP POLL SAYS 70% IN FAVOUR OF PARTIAL BIRTH ABORTION BAN
WASHINGTON, February 17, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - With a bill to ban partial birth abortion introduced last week, the National Right to Life has released the results of a Gallup poll on the procedure.
The January 2003 Gallup poll found that 70% favoured and 25% opposed "a law that would make it illegal to perform a specific abortion procedure conducted in the last six months of pregnancy known as 'partial birth abortion,' except in cases necessary to save the life of the mother."
NRLC warns however that some lawmakers who oppose the bill tell their constituents that they favour competing measures to restrict "late-term" abortions. The bills to which they refer are "phony bans" that are riddled with gaping exclusions and loopholes.
Zogby conducted a poll of 1,016 "likely voters" to determine "what is the top issue facing the country [U.S.] today." They found that 34.8% of adults considered education, healthcare, or crime/drugs/violence to be the most serious issue. Abortion access was not a high priority concern for American adults. The pollsters lumped those who consider abortion to be the top issue, with those who consider "social issues, welfare, poverty" as the most important issues. The total for all four was only 3.6%. The margin of error is approximately 3.2 percentage points.
