Abortion Support Declines Dramatically

Pro-life has been outnumbered by pro-choice for quite some time now. However, there has been a strange reversal in the statistics. Supporters of abortion have dropped by 7% while the number those who claim abortion should be illegal in all or most cases has risen 4%. This change was not only in one specific group of individuals, but people from all religious, ethnicities, and political standpoints are changing their opinion on abortion.
The only groups whose opinions on abortion did not change were African-Americans -- who tend to oppose it -- and young people and those not affiliated with any particular religion, who tend to say it should be legal, he [Gregory Smith of the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life, one of the survey's authors] said.
Interesting... I wonder why this is so.
