Just bothers me. 91% of abortions occur in the first thirteen weeks and saying most Americans support those is an accurate statement. But they report it like this in the news "most Americans support most
or all abortions - still an accurate statement because they do support most abortions. However a vast majority don't support all abortions they just are tucking that bit in with what most do support. (Apologize for posting this in the wrong thread).
