Well that is a slight improvement; it was 47% against when I voted.
I agree with you on the abortion thing - I am pretty much pro-life but in extreme case (like what you mentioned) I'd most likely be choosing abortion. It shouldn't be used as a method of birth control and I think the very late term abortions (like in the 5th month) should just be wrong. But even though I am pro-life, does not mean I think abortion should be outlawed; I am very much pro-choice.
I read an article about in some magazine a while back that indicated that young women seem to be getting apathetic about this whole thing because of such things as the morning after pill and the abortion pill (things that weren't available at the time of Roe vs Wade) that they aren't trying to take steps to make sure that we don't loose our right to have abortions (like voting for candidates who are also pro-choice). But even with the morning after pill and the abortion pill, you still need to be able to find doctors and pharmicists that will prescribe them; some can and will refuse because they find them morally objectionable. I do not think that should be right either.

I'm done rambling.
