Pro-Choice or Pro-Life?

While reading about the Rush Limbaugh-Sandra Fluke spat this past weekend, I couldn't help but wonder how public opinion had changed in the US over the years. I tried to look up some polls and found this one from Gallup:



It was interesting because it showed that opinions had become more conservative over the years. Pro-choice supporters had fallen from 56% to 47% over the past 15 years, while pro-life supporters had gone up from 33% in 1996 to 47% in 2011. It will be interesting to study the reasons behind this change. Perhaps my next blog post will be about this?
