A new poll found that most Americans believe a woman should be able to get a late-term abortion if they are infected with the Zika virus, although Americans oppose the method in normal circumstances.
Nearly 60 percent of those surveyed believe a woman should have access to a legal abortion after 24 weeks if she has Zika and there is a serious possibility the baby would be born with the birth defect microcephaly, according to the poll released Friday from Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and STAT news service.
