Big Abortion has been losing ground for more than a decade, and the abortion empresses have their undies in a bunch about that decline.
A mid-1998 poll by the ardently pro-choice Center for Gender Equality found that 53% of *women*[only women were polled] said abortion should be illegal except for rape, incest, and saving a woman's life, or else forbidden in all cases. That percentage represented an 8 percent shift away from a pro-abortion position in a poll taken two years earlier. The poll sampled 1,000 women 18 years and older. The title of the report was "The Impact of Religious Organizations on Gender Equality."
To quote the core conclusions: "Only 28% of women today believe abortion should be generally available to those who want it. Altogether, 70% favor more restrictions on abortion, including 17% who say there should be stricter limits than there currently are, 40% who think abortion should only be allowed in cases of rape, incest, or to save the woman's life, and 13% who think abortion should not be permitted under any circumstances." No less a pro-choice icon than Faye Wattleton, president of the Center for Gender Equality and former president of Planned Parenthood, said of her organization's poll, "We find some of the findings very disturbing." Small wonder. Abortion just doesn't have the saleability it used to.
In a February 2002 poll conducted for Minnesota Public Radio (more liberal and pro-choice than which it's almost impossible to be) by Mason-Dixon Polling and Research of Washington, DC, Minnesotans were asked when abortion should be legal. Fifty-two percent responded either "never" or "only in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother." A minute 6 percent said, "Abortion should be legal, with no restrictions during the first six months of a pregnancy." A tinier minority, only 5 percent of Minnesotans, checked this poll response: "Abortion should be legal, with no restrictions during the full nine months of a pregnancy."

No, I'm not. The proof has been posted time and time again. It's not our fault you're too stupid to understand it.

"Additionally, the data showed that nearly every demographic sub-group had moved toward the pro-life position except for non-practicing Catholics [apostates have always loved abortion] and men under 45 years of age [Hugh Hefnerites whom abortion allows to be little boys unencumbered by grownups' responsibilities]."

The authors' also admit that the pro-life movement's focus on the unborn child and its attempts to limit access to abortion have worked, both politically and socially. They lament that "Twenty years ago, being pro-life was déclassé. Now it is a respectable point of view."
"Significantly, they acknowledge that the strategy of showing people photos of the gruesome reality of abortion is working, despite the fact that it has been a matter of controversy among some pro-lifers. "In recent years, the antiabortion movement successfully put the nitty-gritty details of abortion procedures on public display, increasing the belief that abortion is serious business and that some societal involvement is appropriate. Those who are pro-choice have not convinced America that we support a public discussion of the moral dimensions of abortion," the authors write."
