Good news for the little ones

A May 4 Harris poll -- which misleadingly asked about support for Roe v. Wade as if that decision made abortion legal during only the first three months of pregnancy -- found that support has dropped below 50% for the first time in 30 years, the bishops' Web site reported.

It also showed that 44% of Americans said they would support a law in their own state such as South Dakota's, banning all abortions except to save the mother's life.

Polls show that support for a key court decision that allowed abortion in the United States is waning, says an agency of the U.S. bishops' conference.

"This is a real sign of hope for both women and their unborn children," stated Deirdre McQuade, spokeswoman at the bishops' Secretariat for Pro-Life Activities, in a Web posting Friday.

A major barometer for sure :)
