Sorry if this was discussed elsewhere but in the SurveyUSA governor poll they also asked the broad "pro-choice or pro-life" question, here's the results by state:
Pro-choice: 483 EV
Pro-life: 52 EV
Utah is the only state where pro-life garnered a majority of the votes.
That map of this survey is somewhat hard to believe
Some people are pro-choice (i.e. it's the woman's right to choose and nobody elses); other's are anti-abortion - period; while the rest, and possibly the largest single plurality (or, indeed, a majority), favour abortion when a matter of necessity (i.e. suporting restrictions). Has this latter group, somehow, been incorporated with the pro-choicers?

I think the answer must be that the question asked was something like “should abortion be legal or illegal” which will naturally produce a result which shows most of the country in favour of keeping it legal, but at the same time it doesn’t take into account the fact that, as you say, the vast majority of Americans favour keeping abortion legal when it necessary but favour restricts on it as the law presently stands, for example most people strongly support banning partial birth abortions and reduce the period in which an abortion is legal except in extreme circumstances.
wow! that is one biased as hell map! not THAT many people support it! come on!
