More Than 70 Percent Want Abortion Limits, Poll Finds.
Issue: May 22, 1999

Nearly three-quarters of Americans think access to abortion should be limited in some circumstances,
according to a CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll made public on May 5. The poll found that 16 percent of
Americans think abortions should be illegal in all circumstances, and 55 percent said it should be allowed
only in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother. Another 27 percent said abortions should be
permitted in all circumstances.

The poll also showed that the number of Americans who describe themselves as "pro-choice" is dropping,
while the number who call themselves "pro-life" is rising. The number who said they were pro- choice fell to
48 percent. Three years ago the number was 56 percent. The number who considered themselves pro-life
went from 36 percent three years ago to 42 percent. The poll found that the number of Americans who said
they favor making partial-birth abortions illegal rose from 55 percent to 61 percent over the past two years.
Those who wanted to keep partial-birth abortions legal dropped from 40 percent to 34 percent.
