CWN Editor's Note: Most Americans favor legal access to vitro fertilization (IVF), according to a new AP/NORC poll. But at the same time, nearly half of those surveyed said that a human embryo deserves the same legal protections as any other person.
Support for IVF was stronger among Democrats (75%) than Republicans (56%), but commanded a solid majority overall.
However, although the survey found a clear majority in favor of legal abortion, nearly half of all Americans agree either “strongly” or “somewhat” to the statement that “human begins at conception, so a fertilized egg is a person with the same rights as a pregnant woman.”
