If 80 percent of Americans support abortion, then why do the Republicans always pick up voters and swell their ranks whenever abortion moves front and center in national debates?
If you can find that poll or another, I'd like to read it and see exactly what the questions were.
I could see this:
"Do you support a rape victim's access to an abortion?" I could see that going 80/20 in favor.
"Do you support partial birth abortion" Probably 80/20 against
"Do you support killing a baby that survived an abortion and is born alive" Probably 90/10 against.
