Support for Legal Abortion Wobbles Religion Informs Much Opposition Analysis By Gary Langer July 2 — Public support for legal abortion, a bit wobbly in recent years, has slipped back to its lowest level in polls since 1995. Fifty-two percent of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, down from 59 percent in January and almost back to where it was (53 percent) last summer. Forty-three percent say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. Support for legal abortion has wavered by around seven points, without clear direction, in polls by ABCNEWS and others. That underscores public ambivalence on the issue: While large majorities say it should be legal in dire cases, most also have said abortions should be illegal when done solely to end an unwanted pregnancy.... There are differences among other groups on abortion as well. Older, less educated, lower-income adults are more apt to say it should be illegal. And blacks are more likely than whites to oppose legal abortion. Older people and blacks also are more apt to cite religious beliefs as the main factor in their opinion. abcnews.go.com
