At least half of that 69% have not a clue what it is.
Count me, my husband, and all of my family as being in favor of overturning Roe v. Wade.
This is why our system of governance is built on the notion of individual liberties being more important than the whim of the majority. The right to live trumps the tyranny of the majority.
You can vote with God or you can takes sides against him.
God votes pro-life.
It is not smart to take sides against him.
Did they poll teachers and faculty lounges?
I call BS on this
Roe v Wade was a demonic coup, complete with characteristics lies and fabrications, resulting in one of the most evil precedents ever in human history. ... And dead soul people love it! You want to discern the spiritual state of someone, discuss the evil Roe court decision.
So what? The left has been repudiating popular consensus for at least 8 years.
Question wording is everything. Overturning Roe is not prohibiting abortion.
Try doing a poll using language like “do you favor killing babies in the womb,” and then try doing a poll using sonogram photos of babies in the womb and connect it with Roe v Wade.
Watch support for this abominable law plummet when the truth about abortion is known.
And Trump is behind by 20 points.
There is something called game theory. People adjust to the new rules. In Tallahassee they did a traffic study and determined they would make x million dollars if they put in traffic cameras to catch people running red lights. They installed the cameras and, instantly, people adjusted their behavior to the new reality. The cameras never came close to paying for themselves and operated at a deficit every year until they were removed. The same is true of abortion. Since abortions became legal there have been almost 60 million of them in the US. This is a staggering number. The ghosts of Pol Pot, Hitler and Stalin must be slapping their foreheads and exclaiming, “Gosh, if we’d called it woman’s health care we’d still be in business.” Make abortion illegal, or extremely expensive and people would instantly adjust to the new reality and not get pregnant. Pregnant women would, instead put babies up for adoption. (Adoption is something that needs to be fixed, too. It is ridiculously expensive, probably as a way of forcing abortions.)
You are generous.
Overturning Roe v Wade only returns the abortion issue to the states. It will then be up to the states to decide. If the states put it on the ballot, I guess the people would have a chance to speak.
No, they weasel their way to the headline by lumping Republicans who say the statute should not be “completely” overturned in with the leftists who want it preserved entirely. Presumably, there is some fraction of Republicans who want *most* of the statute overturned, leaving some provision for extremely dire circumstances or the like. Take that bunch out, and the number of Repubs who want to keep the statute in its entirety probably shrinks to a single-digit percentage if not less.
Argumentum ad populum. It’s all they’ve got.
Are these the same people who did the polls who said Hillary Clinton was going to win the election..I THOUGHT SO. Wrong.
That’s written up as if there’s any remaining credibility to polling.
It’s all agenda driven and has been for a long time.
