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.

Actually, scratch that. It looks like the article is presenting “don’t want it completely overturned” as being “oppose overturning”. I’d bet good money that if the question were rephrased to “overturn entirely”, the numbers for libs and conservatives would drop significantly; I suspect that a large chunk of conservatives favor overturning at least *nearly* all of the verdict, with some leaving a rump decision allowing abortion under only a small set of circumstances, and a good fraction of the left would support imposing at least some restrictions on abortion as well.
