Those are different numbers, percentage of men who are against abortion and percentage of people against abortion who are men are not the same.

Doesn't matter. If you take those numbers, let's say 4 out of 10 men are against abortion, so you put them in a pile.

Then you take 3 out of 10 women against abortion and you put them in the same pile.

So now you have a pile with 4 men and 3 women who are against abortion. Which would mean 4/7 people who are against abortion are men. Which is 57%. Not 79% at all.

Either way. What's the source. Should always source your statistics.

82% of statistics are made up on the spot. Everyone knows that.
