Shocking Poll: Americans overwhelmingly favor restrictions on abortion

If you believe the pro-abortion lobbyists, politicians and members of the media, the pro-life movement is composed only of extremists and radicals.

Not so, according to a new poll from PR Newswire. The poll asked respondents to state which of six statements came closest to describing their opinion on abortion.

• 8% of US residents chose option 1, that abortion should be available to a woman any time she wants one during her entire pregnancy.
• 8% chose option 2, that abortion should be allowed only during the first 6 months of pregnancy.
• 24% chose option 3, that abortion should be allowed only during the first 3 months of pregnancy;-- 32% chose option 4, that abortion should be allowed only in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother.
• 15% chose option 5, that abortion should be allowed only to save the life of the mother.
• 13% chose option 6, that abortion should never be permitted under any circumstance.
