It is rare to see a swing in public opinion like the one we recently saw on abortion. Each January for 11 years, the Knights of Columbus have released Marist polling on Americans’ attitudes toward abortion. But this year, following the rash of abortion extremism on the state and national level they decided to redo the polling in February.
They found that Americans went from 55 percent who self-describe as pro-choice and 38 percent who self-describe as pro-life, to a 47-47 split. This is the first time in close to a decade that those numbers have reached a tie.
