There is only a small gender gap as American voters agree 63 - 31 percent with the U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision on abortion, according to a Quinnipiac University National Poll released today.
Men agree 61 - 32 percent, while women agree 65 - 30 percent, the independent Quinnipiac (KWIN-uh-pe-ack) University National Poll finds. Republicans disagree with Roe v. Wade 58 - 36 percent. Every other listed party, gender, education, age and racial group agrees.
The Supreme Court is mainly motivated by politics rather than law, American voters say 50 - 42 percent. The court is too liberal, 19 percent of voters say, as 31 percent say it is too conservative and 41 percent say it is about right.
But 49 percent of voters approve of the Supreme Court's decision upholding President Donald Trump's travel ban on citizens from five mostly Muslim countries, while 46 percent disapprove.
President Trump's nomination to the Supreme Court should make the court more conservative, 31 percent of voters say, as 29 percent say it should make the court more liberal and 35 percent say it should keep the current balance on the court.
American voters are divided on when the U.S. Senate should consider President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, as 46 percent say the Senate should consider the nomination and 48 percent say the Senate should not consider the nomination until after the November elections.
"It's a draw on banning travel from some largely Muslim countries, but there is no ambivalence on abortion as men and women dig in and say, 'Hands off Roe v. Wade,'" said Tim Malloy, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Poll.

“Even if this is true its irrelevant.”
How about a poll showing a majority of men and women nationwide approve of owning firearms?
Nah. Won’t see that reported as “national news”.
So, they support limiting Abortion based on Viability?
(Wanna bet they didn’t know it?)
Well, it’s a start.
Exactly right.
That’s why this type of poll is really meaningless.
Unfortunately the politicians take things like this to heart.
The question was probably “Do you support RVW which gave women a right to choose whether or not to have children”, or some other slanted question.
Ask the same people about what “July 4th, Independence Day” stands for and you will likely get the same result; 2-1 admitting they haven’t the slightest clue except it is a day for fireworks, beer and hamburgers, and the beach.
Ask people instead: "Do you think democratically elected state Representatives ought to have a voice in social policy for your state, or do you think such decisions are solely the responsibility of unelected Federal Judges?"
"Like everybody else, we got it wrong," said Tony Romando, CEO of Topix Media, after shipping the Hillary Clinton victory edition of Newsweek Magazine.Polls, lately, are little more than tools of deception.
If you showed a pregnant woman and pictures of terms of development with the latest 3D Ultrasound they would still rationalize the idiot notion of privacy and a woman’s choice. A good portion of society accepts plain infanticide for women’s convenience, “human right” and just the “Constitutionality” of it.
How many American voters supported it in 1973?
Two wolves and a lamb voting on what’s for dinner.
B.S.
“Americans only believe abortion should be legal in the cases of rape...”
Women normally are prescribed and take pills after being raped.
That’s exactly what will happen. It will become a state’s rights issue.
Show the pictures. Abortion is murder.
Such BS...Millions and millions of women for centuries did NOT abort their children. Why?? Because they didn’t believe in it.

“the idiot notion of privacy”
Privacy?
Gee, Nancy, you sure lost a lot of weight yesterday!
Thank Dr. Baby Killer for that.
I think your cultural observation is good, and believe that the grinding-down of the reputation of abortion vendors and customers has been a good trend.
But the reason Roe can't be allowed to stand is not because abortion is wrong. It's because it's unconstitutional and has been used to allow the takeover of government at every level by disgusting Progs.
Roe is a finger upraised to the Founders--the arrogation by a Federal body (the USSC) of an area of law that the USC leaves "to the States, respectively, or to the People." That invasion of state sovereignty has been a dagger twisting in the heart of the entire Constitution, and has been a crucial step in greasing the skids of Progressive tyranny. It affected not only the courts, but enabled the policies of Federal bureaucrats to reach ever farther in ordering state bureaucrats to oppress and propagandize their people, or lose money. The Communists' overall strategy has been to Federalize all authority and populate every corner of government down to the dog catchers with Communist swamp-dwellers.
The Founders' solution to this danger, which was obvious to them, was leaving Federal powers limited, few, and defined. This allows the states to compete with each other for citizens by oppressing them less than other states, which is why the Stalinists in Albany, Sacramento, Hartford, and Boston hate the Founders and their work so much. Just for tax and bureaucracy reasons, the population in all those states is tanking. The process will gallop across the board, renewing liberty across the land, as Roe, Lawrence vs. Texas, and all the other Federal overreaches topple, one after the other.
The blue states can have their cursed abortions, sodomy, sex slavery, and so on, but people will start leaving even faster, heading for healthier moral environments where that cr*p is illegal. The blue states will run out of tax money, begin to collapse, and get taken over by more normal politicians.
