I am, however, glad to see that I am mistaken, and that most liberals and Democrats oppose partial birth abortion, although opposition is still greater among conservatives and moderates. I mistakenly infered from the strong support of abortion rights generally among liberals: Ideology and political partisanship are also strong factors. Sixty-three percent of Democrats and 69 percent of liberals support legal abortion; 55 percent of Republicans and 58 percent of conservatives oppose it. Independents and moderates are more apt to support it. Most Oppose Partial Birth Abortions With control of both the House of Representatives and the Senate, it's expected the Republicans will move to ban "partial-birth" abortions, also known as dilation and extraction abortions. Congress has twice before passed such measures, both vetoed by then-President Clinton. President Bush has said he would sign the bill. The 69 percent in this poll who say partial-birth abortions shouldn't be legal takes in majorities across demographic groups, including 60 percent of Democrats and 63 percent of liberals. abcnews.go.com
