Nope, I was careful to get it right. Cognitive dissonance, perhaps.

Anyway, you are wrong about the number of people who are pro- choice. Did you read all three posts? gallup.com I don't know how to provide a hyperlink, but there is the address, if you want to check it out.

Also, you should read this article: "Public Views" on abortion depend on questions asked NEW YORK, N.Y. (EP) - Polls taken to determine the American public's attitude toward abortion may get very different results, depending on how the questions are worded. That's the conclusion of a New York Times analysis of abortion polling. In a January 22 analysis of various abortion surveys, writer Tamar Lewin reported that in a New York Times/CBS News Poll only 29 percent said there should be a constitutional amendment prohibiting abortion, yet "when the same people were asked if there should be a constitutional amendment protecting the life of the unborn child, 50 percent said they would favor one." In another such discrepancy, over half of the people questioned in a 1985 survey by the Louis Harris organization said abortion is murder, while a Gallup Poll the same year showed that over 90 percent thought abortion was sometimes the best way out of a bad situation. Lewin explained, "Polling experts agree that more people are far more likely to say they favor abortion rights when the question is framed in terms of a woman's right to choose than when the question talks about protecting an unborn child." (MY NOTE):I made sure that I gave the actual questions asked for the gallup polls, by the way.

Jonathan : A special present for you. Wang Jun •Charlie Trie arranged for Wang Jun, chairman of Poly Technologies Inc., an international Chinese weapons dealer, to meet with Clinton at a Democrat Party event at the White House on Feb. 6, 1996. At the time Clinton met with Wang, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) and the Customs Service were wrapping up an investigation which caught Wang's company smuggling 2,000 illegal AK-47 assault weapons worth at least $4 million, destined for gang members in California. Wang's Poly Technologies Inc., is owned and run by the Communist Chinese People's Liberation Army. (sources: The New Republic, 1/20/97; Chicago Tribune, 1/5/97; The New York Times, 12/27/96) •The next day after Wang Jun's coffee with Clinton, investment banker and Jun acquaintance Ernest Green, formerly of Little Rock, contributed $50,000 in his wife's name (Phyllis) to the Democrat National Committee (DNC). Green was a major player in fund-raising for Clinton/Gore's 1996 re-election campaign. At the State Department, Wang's visa file contains letters of invitation from Ernest Green and Charlie Trie. When confronted by the press about Jun's visit, Clinton conceded that Jun was a "clearly inappropriate" guest to have at the White House.
