Q8
Nearly 99% of abortions in the United States

are performed before 21 weeks, and when they
occur later, it often is because a doctor
determines that the fetus has severe
abnormalities that would cause fetal death or
extreme disability. In many cases, these
abnormalities are not identified until later in a
pregnancy, and often involve heartbreaking
decisions by the parents. With this background
in mind, do you think abortions after 20 weeks
should definitely be permitted, should probably
be permitted, should probably not be permitted,
or should definitely not be permitted in cases
involving severe fetal abnormalities?
Should definitely be permitted......................... 54%
Should probably be permitted ......................... 21%
Should probably not be permitted ................... 13%
Should definitely not be permitted................... 8%
Not sure .......................................................... 5%
Q9
Suppose there were a proposal to ban

abortions after 20 weeks, except when the life
of the woman is at risk. Under this proposal, a
woman would be prevented from having a legal
abortion after 20 weeks in all other
circumstances, including cases involving
severe fetal abnormalities and cases when the
woman would suffer serious, permanent health
problems if the pregnancy were carried to term.
Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor,
somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose this

weeks, including banning them in cases of
severe fetal abnormalities and serious health
risks to the woman?

Q10 Suppose there were a proposal to ban

other circumstances, including cases involving
severe fetal abnormalities and cases when the
pregnancy is the result of a rape or incest.
Would you strongly favor, somewhat favor,
somewhat oppose, or strongly oppose this
