She comments on the usual spin given the numbers by LifeShite, then wonders if we'll ever see the actual questions and data.
Back at Birth Pangs, we covered these polls a few times, here in light of Ken Epp's private member's bill C-484, aka Kicking Abortion's Ass Bill, and here in more detail.
That second post includes a dandy table tracking various attitudes from 2002 to 2007. It shows rather conclusively that support for the more extreme definitions of 'when life begins' is actually declining.

But I agree with Antonia. If the 2008 poll continues the trend seen since 2002 -- that is, increasing support for choice -- we likely never will see the data. Just spin spin spin.
