Well, according to a 2001 poll, 53% of Reps. and 68% of Conservatives felt "Abortions should be all or mostly illegal". Those percentages, 53% and 68% look to be majorities to me.

Ted lets follow back through what was said.

I said - "Many conservatives don't care much about abortion. "

You said "Many? I don't want to call you a liar but I find that highly suspect......the only conservatives I have found who are pro choice with any regularity are usually both moderate and women. "

I said "Yes many. Not most. Not a majority but many."

So that "Not a majority" refers to the conservatives who don't care much about abortion. Your data actually supports my position. If 68% of conservatives think abortion should be illegal then 32% think it shouldn't. 32% is a minority as I said but 32% of a group of tens of millions is "many".
"

Sorry, I misunderstood you; then we are in agreement. A majority of conservatives are against abortions. I thought you were denying that fact.
