It this becomes a trend
it would be hard for congress
to expand abortion availability.
— The Gallup Poll reported today that 51% of Americans now call themselves pro-life rather than pro-choice on the issue of abortion, the first time a majority gave that answer in the 15 years that Gallup has asked the question.
The findings, obtained in an annual survey on values and beliefs conducted May 7-10, marked a significant shift from a year ago. A year ago, 50% said they were pro-choice and 44% pro-life — in the new poll, 42% said they were pro-choice.

It is important to read the whole article, which details the shift.
Actually, my postion, that abortion is ok in some circumstances, but not under all circumstances, continues to be the majority position and remains unchanged.

You are right, most oppose either banning abortion or allowing unlimited abortion.
