Actually she's right. Popular views have been trending anti-abortion for some time now, despite what the media is portraying.
Facts are your friends. Learn some.
I'm going to go with Gallup over your unsourced assertion. And Gallup's facts are that opinions on access to abortion is unchanged. By "trending" you mean a few percentage points, but in 20 years, barely a change.
Feel free to present opposing statistics (not opinions).

"...Americans' views on the abortion issue continue to be closely divided. Currently, as many Americans personally identify as "pro-choice" on the issue as say they are "pro-life..."
Do you think women who claim they are proudly pro-abortion and have had one tell their little keepers that mommy did away with their potential brothers and sisters?
I have two friends that I know of whose mothers told them that they had abortions earlier in life. They were both told as adults. Neither friend was traumatized or upset; both were glad that their mothers had that option when a pregnancy occurred at a difficult time. I don't know what most mothers do in these situations, but I know that sometimes, the (adult) children are told.
My kids (who are teens) know that I have had two miscarriages, but they don't mourn their "potential brothers or sisters." Even if I had had abortions (which I did not), I doubt they'd really care very much. Any month throughout their childhoods, there was the potential that I'd supply them with a new sibling; we just chose not to. They wouldn't have been affected no matter how that lack of more siblings came to be.

Today, a 58% majority of Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 37% think abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. These views are relatively unchanged in the past few years.
Do you have any sense of how silly and petty you sound when you carry on like this?
I wouldn't consider this silly and petty:
Quote:
Overall, 5.6 million children under age five died in 2016, nearly 15,000 daily (World Health Organization [WHO], 2016).
Approximately 3.1 million children die from undernutrition each year (UNICEF, 2018a). Hunger and undernutrition contribute to more than half of global child deaths, as undernutrition can make children more vulnerable to illness and exacerbate disease (UNICEF, 2018a).
What a great group of young people. They are our future for sure.
"The group singing was Crusaders for Life, a pro-life teen group known for their positivity, prayer, and yellow clothing. Though it was started by people from St. John Cantius parish in Chicago, IL (a parish famous for its traditional architecture, music, and liturgy), the group now has chapters around the country."
Not really, says Steve Martin, a sociologist at the University of Maryland. When Martin crunched the numbers from a 2004 government survey — the most recent available — he found that 28 percent of women age 35 to 44, who are winding up their childbearing years, have three kids or more. Ten years ago, it was 29 percent. The numbers for younger women haven't budged much, either.

Who's having three or more kids?
While the percentage of moms having Brady Bunch-sized broods has held steady, the women who make up their ranks have changed somewhat. These days, professional and wealthy moms are having bigger families — traditionally more common among certain religious groups and poorer women with less education, according to government surveys.
