Poll: 51% Say They Are Pro-Life

From the Washington Post :

A Gallup poll found for the first time that a majority of Americans identify themselves as pro-life.

A May survey, just released, asked the question: With respect to the abortion issue, would you consider yourself to be pro-choice or pro-life?

In 1995, 33 percent of respondents identified themselves as pro-life and 56 percent as pro-choice. But in May, 51 percent said they were pro-life and 42 percent said pro-choice.

Just a year ago, 50 percent of Americans surveyed identified themselves as pro-choice and 44 percent as pro-life.
