I'm not sure what polls you are reading, but here is a link that shows the opposite, i.e. support for legal abortions at about 53 percent, and opposition at 43 percent. They state this has been the trend for at least the last decade. http://abcnews.go.com/sections/us/Da...oll010702.html This one seems to have some different stats?????........?? http://christianparty.net/abortiongallup.htm I prefer ABC news as a less biased source than an advocacy group, thank you.

Was is ABC or CBS that staged the Chevy pickup truck exploding gas tank? I don't trust any of the news organizations anymore. Almost every one has been caught doing something like this when they can't get the real data to match the outcome they desire to report. Matt |

At least there is an editorial board, and they have to answer to the FCC. If you want manipulated data, just look at any number of sites on internet, which don't have to answer to anybody. |

If you want manipulated data, just look at any number of sites on internet, which don't have to answer to anybody. The ones on the internet answer to the same people as the mainstream media -- the market they serve, and their credibility is at stake. That reputation is something that bureaucrats can neither enhance, nor destroy. |

They certainly do not monitor them for news accuracy. Most so called news programs are actually entertainment programs. |

That would include most every academic and government research group as well. |

"Peter Gottlieb" wrote in message . net... "Steven P. McNicoll" wrote in message ink.net... When rights conflict, how do you strike a balance? By religious background and beliefs? Whose? By "morals?" Whose? If this were an easy question it would have been resolved long ago. One wonders why it's a question at all. Perhaps because we're a democracy rather than a dictatorship? If that were true abortion would be outlawed. Every poll shows the vast majority of the American public apposes abortion. If that is the case in a democracy, shouldn't the majority rule? The woman involved in getting abortion legalized has also opposed it for many years and tried to get the ruling overturned. You don't hear much about that either in the popular press. Matt |
