Gallup Poll's

Abortion has been a controversial topic of conversation for awhile now. Some people are completely pro choice, others are pro life, and there are those who are in between. This issue to me has no right or wrong answer. There is no black and white solution to this problem. It is one of the issues that there will always be an opposition. I of course have my personal beliefs on the matter, and just like me, im sure many people out there aren't swayed by others and statistics. I wasnt very surprised in the results from a poll completed by gallup.com. The poll asked the population if abortion was legal in any, certain, or all circumstances. 54 % of the people believed it should by legal in certain situations. This statistics hasn't changed much over the past ten years. 24 % of them answered that it should be legal in any situation. This particular statistic has gone day over the past few years. Lastly, 19 % of the population polled felt that abortion should be illegal in all situations.  Too me its a little funny how so many people have an opinion on an issue that only effect a fraction of people. This issue is like I said previously, one that will never go away. Until someone is pregnant and in the situation of having to decide to keep the baby or abort, they will never know how truely agonizing the decision is.                   http://www.gallup.com/poll/1576/Abortion.aspx#1
