Survey questions about the legality of abortion often
draw different responses depending on how questions are worded. This is
generally a sign of conflicted feelings on the part of the public. The
abortion issue features a number of conflicted and seemingly
inconsistent findings. For example, large majorities favor laws to
restrict abortions, but nearly two-thirds say the government should not
interfere with a woman's access to abortion. And, while most Americans
are opposed to overturning the U.S. Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade
decision legalizing abortion during the first three months of
pregnancy, many are unsure whether the decision goes too far in making
abortion legal.
