Americans are still split on the topic of abortion, a new poll revealed, showing that for many people, choosing a side on the contentious issue is not easy.  The more telling part of the polling, however, revealed the feelings of people who believe abortion should be legal in cases where the child could be born with a life-threatening illness.
