Women & Men Oppose Abortion in Almost Equal Numbers, Poll Says

Commenting on the “war on women” rhetoric of Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion organizations:

“One of the central myths in American politics is that women are more pro-choice than men,” Karen Kaufman, an associate professor at the University of Maryland who has researched the gender gap, told Yahoo News.

In 2011, 59 percent of men and 56 percent of women said in a Gallup poll that abortion should be legal in no circumstances or only in a few.

Men and women are much more divided on the issue of war (women oppose military interventions) and the role of government (women are more wary of federal spending cuts) than on abortion.”
