What we noticed in 2002, five years after the original survey, was that we had a very evenly matched debate in that year's referendum, which almost passed. When people are asked whether they support continued protection for the unborn consistent with all necessary medical care for women, a majority are found to be in favour of that position. It is time newspapers of record examined their record and asked whether they are not in danger of losing the confidence of the public if they insist and persist in presenting information that seems to be less about informing and more about securing certain political ends.
