no. no americans have become more conservative on abortion. the numbers on same-sex marriage have move considerably faster than the numbers on abortion. that s not a fair comparison. certainly the numbers the pro choice numbers has not moved up like the pro gay marriage number has moved up. i ll concede that. but it s not a subtle balancing. but i mean, are you not surprised when you see pew polls that show more americans consider themselves pro life than pro choice. i ve looked at these polls a thousand times. it s the way you ask the question you can get the answer you want. i am saying this, i agree with you i ve never seen the numbers look the way they have on abortion. the numbers on abortion have not moved like on gay marriage. they re moving? i ll put aside at best you can t admit it. i don t know. keep moving then.
a lot of people are on pro life. this is really single issue for you? we lose everything with this. as i think we ve discussed on this program. but i get confused. contrary to what these, you know, oh, so sensitive and multicultural pro-am nesty republicans think, hispanics are different from black voters. black voters are conservative culturally. they are against abortion and against gay marriage. they do believe in the family. hispanics, everyone thinks that, but they are a little bit more like the ted kennedy kind of catholic. in these pew polls, hispanics are the one group more than any other that opposes capitalism. they are heavily pro choice. contrary to the image. but the main point is and again the only reason the democrats want it is because every poll shows they vote about 80% for the democrats. let me ask you one last question. for national security reasons, i

shooting incidents, there s a lot of momentum to do something and then in the end, congress doesn t act. right now, the only measure that seems to have bipartisan support is on gun fencing and gun trafficking. all right. and another big issue is dealing with immigration. now, the latest pew polls show support growing for immigration reform. what will actually get done there? this issen ash where i think there is cross-aisle support. interesting, isn t it? the same group of people can t agree on guns. now you do have more republicans saying, yes, we can do something, and that issue seems to have momentum and that momentum even is gaining. all right, lynn sweet, chicago sun-times. thanks for waking up with us on this good friday. thank you. now to some other stories that caught our eye this morning. we start in philadelphia, where a good samaritan sprung into action when a 63-year-old man walked right off the subway platform. now hailed a hero, the man jumped on to the tracks
