CNN reported the number has never been above 36% for “should roe v wade be overturned” https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/06/24/politics/americans-roe-v-...

Gallup puts the number of legal under all cases at 35% of Americans and legal under some conditions at 50%.

Trigger laws in places like Oklahoma make it illegal in basically all cases after fertilization. Texas law is going to let Texans sue people for providing or getting abortions out of state. Framing this as a states rights issue didn’t work for slavery, segregation, gay rights, etc and it won’t work for women’s reproductive rights either.

> CNN reported the number has never been above 36% for “should roe v wade be overturned”

the poll said "completely overturned", which is the more radical position. roe v wade being completely overturned is not the same as "delegating to the states" per your original comment, because the federal protection could be weakened to only support specific cases or require an earlier termination which would leave more room for state laws.

You're framing the issue in a way that's misleading, because while the majority of americans oppose completely overturning roe, another majority could support weakening roe or limiting it to specific cases

Could you please at least do two minutes of research before coming in here with this take, using a brand-new burner junk account no less?

This is the most polled issue in American politics and has been for half a century. We know with certainty that a large majority of the public supports abortion rights. We don't need to talk about what "another majority could support". That theory has been shot down thousands of times over the last 50 years.

You have those reversed.
