Polls

Polls show that 74% of Americans want to protect the right for citizens to own guns but 57% want stricter gun laws. 61% say abortion should be legal but only 35% say legal in the second trimester and 20% in the third trimester. People who are for these positions often quote the polls but only the first part. By doing this they lose credibility. Those who are pro gun and pro abortion do not want to give an inch for fear the other side will take a mile. The chances of getting rid of all abortions is about the same as getting rid of all guns. There are groups on the extremes of both of these issues but the majority of people are somewhere in the middle.
