Life or Choice breakdown

The majority of Americans are both for and against abortion. Most want it more restricted, but legal (in some cases).

The majority of Americans are both for and against abortion. The whole truth is that the majority of Americans want abortion legal (in some cases), and want more restriction than we currently have. The dishonest will use that to defend their position, "Americans want fewer Abortions" or "Americans want Abortion legal".

Facts[edit | edit source]

Both sides will tell you that ≈80% of people support their position, and both are telling the truth.... just not the whole truth.
The polls ask if someone wants abortion legal, illegal, or mostly legal/illegal. Then both sides borrow from the "mostly legeal" or "mostly illegal" results to pretend that the majority agree with them. And they do, that's just not the whole truth.
The whole truth is that most Americans want Abortion legal in the first dozen weeks of pregnancy, but they don't want late term abortions, or it to be used causally.
