Liberal media bias on abortion? No never

If you saw the headline "Irish favour legalising abortion," what would you think the majority of people in Ireland would favor doing with regards to abortion? Now this shouldn't really be a trick question but you never know with the media.

Check out this article whose title openly declares "Irish favour legalising abortion" but then the first sentence states,

Irish voters under 35 strongly favour legalising abortion, but if a referendum on permitting abortion was held now it would be defeated, according to an opinion poll.


The article goes to state that the poll found that 47% of people surveyed favored keeping Ireland's prolife law while only 36% would support a referendum to change the law.

So then the headline should have actually been something like "Irish don't favour legalising abortion," right?
