NY Magazine: “The Abortion Distortion: Just how pro-choice is America, really?”
NY Magazine: “According to a Gallup poll from July, 60 percent of Americans think abortion should be either illegal or ‘legal only in a few circumstances.’ Only seventeen states pay for the procedure for poor women beyond the standards of the 1977 Hyde Amendment—meaning if the woman’s life is in danger or she’s been the victim of rape or incest. Just two months before the health-care bill’s passage in the House, a Rasmussen poll found that 48 percent of the public didn’t want abortion covered in any government-subsidized health plan, while just 13 percent did.
