Abortion polling can be tricky and the results can be deceiving if not all the data is presented. For example polls show that 63% of people agree with Roe v Wade that abortions should be legal. If the question is refined some rather interesting results appear.  The further into the pregnancy, with AP/NORC finding 61% believe abortion should be legal during the first trimester, but only 34% in the second trimester and 19% in the third. Advances in medicine have made the subject of abortion more complicated. Various characteristics of the fetus can be determined and should these be used to decide on abortion. Some of these can be quite serious and others totally trivial.
