This special-topic poll is part of a continuing series of monthly surveys that solicit public opinion on the presidency and on a range of political and social issues. This data collection consists of respondents' attitudes toward abortion under certain circumstances. Respondents were asked about their religious beliefs and if they personally knew someone who had an abortion. They were also questioned about the death penalty, premarital sex, coed dormitories, marijuana, pornography, and the status of women under the Reagan administration. Additional variables probed respondents' perceptions of groups such as big corporations, the Moral Majority, the Catholic church, military leaders, Jewish people, the news media, and labor unions. Demographic information on the respondents was collected, including race, age, sex, income and educational levels, type of residence, number and ages of children, and religious affiliation.
