Take this test to see if you know more about abortion than most Americans

[Jefferson23]

Quick question: Which procedure is safer — an abortion or a wisdom tooth extraction?

I won't tell you the answer, because first you should take the quiz below. But these are the types of questions we asked in a recent poll we conducted with PerryUndem, where we asked 1,060 registered voters about abortion.

One thing we learned: About 60 percent of voters underestimated how many women will have an abortion in their lifetime. Again, I won't spoil the quiz with the exact number.

Take the test first, and let's rehash below:

1. Here's what I got

You overestimated how common abortion is, but you had a decent knowledge of the risks. Most Americans aren't educated about abortion.

They underestimate how many women have had an abortion.
They think abortion rates have either gone up or stayed the same, when they've actually gone down.
They think abortion is a lot more dangerous than other common procedures.

2. I would like our candidates to point out how much support there is for Roe vs Wade

to remain the law of the US. The polls indicate how strong that is in our country
even though people are not as aware as they should be about the procedure etc.

Thanks for your reply.

3. The link says abortions have gone down in the last 10 years.

That may be because it's harder to get them, for poor women anyway, because of restrictive laws being passed.
