Poll: Only 3 in 10 women see ‘war on women’ (WaPo misrepresenting poll?)

From Washingtonpost.com: "Only three in ten women believe there is a currently a "wide-scale effort to limit women's reproductive health choices and services, such as abortion, family planning, and contraception” in the U.S, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Forty-five percent believe there are some groups that would like to limit women’s reproductive services 'but it is not a widespread effort.'"

So...doesn't that mean that around 70% of women acknowledge their rights are at risk? Furthermore, the poll found 7% of women who deny that a war on women exists.

politics. Throw them out, maybe 5 of those ten? So you have 3 out of 5 that know what's going on, one unsure and one that denys it. Three out of ten might turn out looking real good at the polls.
