Reply #4: A majority supported segregation not that long ago!

Considering how uninformed and confused the American people are, I tend to distrust public opinion polls not on account of what they disclose, but on how much weight we must give to the opinions reflected in the samplings.

Interesting the comments captured by Pew Research:

Though abortion coverage may not be the main reason why Americans oppose the proposals, Pew noted that 56 percent of health reform opponents cite the abortion issue as one of the major factors for their disapproval. Even so, the abortion issue ranked below other major reasons including coverage for illegal immigrants (67 percent).

Of the religious groups polled, evangelical Protestants (74 percent) and white Catholics (72 percent) were particularly likely to say abortion funding was a major reason for their opposition. However, these groups also cited the expansion of government involvement as a major factor.
