Do You Think Americans Believe Abortion is Murder?
A new Zogby International poll entitled “American Values” published findings that state most Americans believe abortion is actually manslaughter. When asked to choose between two statements: “Abortion destroys a human life and is manslaughter” or “abortion does not destroy a life and is not manslaughter,” 51% of respondents believe the first statement. Only 35% of the 1,005 likely voters believe that abortion does not destroy a life and is not manslaughter. 8% agreed with neither statement and 6% were not sure.
