"Not being persuasive to anyone who genuinely believes that abortion involves the murder of an innocent human being."

This is 30% of the population or less.

This is totally inaccurate. The truth is that public opinion on abortion is confusing. The percentage of Americans that believe abortion is murder is 57%, and yet 67% believe abortion should be legal in the early parts of pregnancy. I have no idea how to reconcile those numbers. However, poll after poll clearly shows that the percentage of the population that believes abortion should be legal drops as the pregnancy progresses. For example, 65% of Americans believe that abortion should be illegal in the 2nd and 3rd trimester.
