If those figures are accurate, they confirm that the views on GFY aren't at all representative. I've seen polls like this before and was surprised, too. Sad really. But no amount of wishing it away changes it.

Huh? You quoted stats that show the majority is not in favour of these views... Can someone give a non-American a rundown on what's going on here?
Ideas floating around:
US populace is better than general GFY lowlife
US populace is as stupid as GFY
Pornographers would sell their mother for a [unique] hit
Pornographers are intelligent as the rest of the 'mainstream' people
I'm confused....
In any case - here's some clarification on those stats that were pimped....

That is not the same as 60% are against Iraq....

the # of real anti-abortion people == # of pro-life people. The uncertainty rests in those that can't make up there minds (54%) saying no abortion is wrong, but ok in certain circustances (add me to that 54% miscreants) ... And these stats are unchanged since 3 years (from that article).

Of course, these kinds of polls rarely show their poll #s nor their funding source, so take statistical data with a pinch of salt....
