A new Harris Poll finds a majority of Americans want all or most abortions to be illegal and overwhelming majorities of Americans want more abortion limits in law. According to the nationwide poll just nine percent said abortion should be legal for any reason at any time during pregnancy. It found 82 percent of Americans said abortion should either be illegal under all circumstances or would limit its legality. More specifically, 49 percent of those polled took a pro-life position wanting all abortions made illegal (11 percent) or wanting almost all abortions illegal except for very rare cases of saving the mother’s life or in cases involving rape or incest (38 percent).
