These are all great examples of the bandwagon fallacy, but if we're going off popular appeal then why don't we see the abortion debates put to rest once and for all by popular vote?

The answer of course is that abortion rights would win by a healthy margin[1] if the public had any say in the matter.

I’m responding to OP’s mischaracterization above that “abortion ban comes from a fringe theory forced by a single religion.” Abortion is banned in many different societies that practice many different religions.
