According to Gallup:
"Pro-Choice" Americans at Record-Low 41%; Americans now tilt "pro-life" by nine-point margin, 50% to 41%."
The idea that there is a demographic tendency toward pro-life because (a) parents pass on values to children and (b) pro-life parents don't kill their babies was coined the "Roe Effect" by James Taranto. It may exist, but this rapid slide in the popularity of the pro-choice position since the election of Obama suggests that something else is going on.
The relative unpopularity of abortion may be a reason that the Obama administration decided to go after the Catholic Church on "contraception."

That wouldn't be surprising at all--excellent point, PSB.
Thanks.
It's interesting when you start trying to put the pieces together.
