In order for most people to take a study seriously the study need to be extensive and for more than just one year. The study needs to take place in more than one city/state. By limiting what city or state you limit the total amount of real responses. I guarantee you that some Pro Life org Asked the New York based institute to do a study in their area only as to get statistics in their favor. Now if someone was to do an actual national study for say 3-5years then yes..I could take it serious.

If you actually read my posts, I think you'd see that I am making the point that all polls, even the ones I want to agree with (and statistics in general), are suspect. By "suspect", I mean they really can't be relied on in most cases.

So you don't really care about ending abortion...you just want it to be a state issue...ok now i really see where you are coming from! Oh, just a funny thought...what if every state made it legal? Would you still have a problem with it?

No all I am saying is religion and politics have no business co-mingling.

Last time I checked you do have to pay for them yourself....what's worse is the people who have the children instead of an abortion and are on public assistance for you and me to pay for for the next 18 yrs!

There tend to be so many variables (demographics and the way questions are asked) that there are questions of viability in any poll no matter how thorough or unbiased the intention. One can only minimize, but not eliminate, these variables. Therefore, the results are suspect.
