Нескoлькo неoжидaннaя стaтистикa

Gallup came out with a poll in late May 2014 that relates that 47% of Americans consider themselves “pro-choice,” while 46% consider themselves “pro-life.”  This same poll, however, reveals that Americans have these positions on abortion: 21% think it should always be illegal; 37% think it should be illegal except in a few rare circumstances; 11% believe abortion should be legal most of the time; and 28% believe that it should always be legal.

American criminal law prior to Roe v. Wade, the decision which created the pro-life movement, varied from state to state, but nearly always it allowed abortion in those three special instances that Gallup Poll question considers: rape, incest, and the life of the mother.  Texas law, which was tested in Roe v. Wade, allowed abortion in the case of rape.  So although only 46% of Americans in that poll call themselves “pro-life,” at least 59% of Americans in that poll are “pro-life.”

Even more interesting, every Gallup Poll shows that Americans overwhelmingly reject “overturning Roe v. Wade,” by 53% to 29% in the last Gallup Poll to ask the question.  But the 59% of Americans who oppose abortion except in a few instances support overturning Roe v. Wade, and, in fact, the 11% who do not favor abortion on demand also support overturning Roe v. Wade  – or at least dramatically limiting that Supreme Court decision.

Two months earlier, a CNN poll on abortion showed exactly the same breakdown of Americans: 59% of Americans believe that abortion should be either illegal (20%) or legal only in case of rape, in case of incest, or when the life of the mother in danger (39%).  Only 27% percent of Americans accept the Democratic Party position of abortion on demand.

Every poll over the last decade shows the same pattern.  A CBS poll in July 2013 shows overwhelmingly (61% to 37%) that Americans want more limits on abortion, which is possible only if Roe v. Wade is overturned.  NBC/Wall Street Journal in April 2013 showed a huge gap between those who believe that abortion should always be legal (26%) and those who want strict limits or no abortions (52%).  Respondents who thought that they were pro-choice are actually pro-life, and those who thought that they supported Roe v. Wade actually oppose the decision.

Ну чтo же, рaдует.

Простите, что вмешиваюсь в ваш высокоученый спор. Не будучи специалистом, не могу высказаться о медицинских аспектах проблемы. Однако юридически убийство беременной трактуется в большинстве штатов как двойное при любом сроке беременности. Таким образом, юридически плод считается человеком с момента зачатия с точки зрения преступлений против него. Отсюда, на мой взгляд, уже довольно близко к признанию плода обладающим другими правами, помимо права на жизнь.

как вы правильно указали - это не общепринятое мнение

Кaк следует из результaтoв oпрoсa, нынешняя прaктикa aбoртoв тoже не oтрaжaет не тoлькo кaкoе-тo oбщепринятoе мнение, нo прoстo мнение бoльшинствa.
