Liberals Ready to Abandon Abortion as an Issue

[CARLHAYDEN]

I don't think most liberal in public office will abandon their support for abortion on demand, but the numbers indicate that they should.

Gallup has been asking an abortion question for many years, and the trend in the responses is most interesting.  They asked whether abortion should be: Always Legal, Sometimes Legal, or Always Illegal.  A brief tabulation of the responses followsL

Year     Always     Sometimes     Always
            Legal         Legal            Illegal

1990      31%          56%              12%

2000      28             51                  19

2005      24             55                  20

The only other social issue tracked for a long time showing a pretty consistent trend against the position taken by most Democrats in public office deals with firearms.

Do you ever bother to read my posts.

First, I have repeatedly favored selected limits on abortion (Partial birth abortion ban, parental notification, etc.) not a total ban.

Second, I am as I have previously noted a Democrat.

Third, try dealing with the facts I posted (if you can).
