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.

Rape and Incest: Just 1% of All Abortions - The New York Times
https://www.nytimes.com/1989/10/13/us/rape-and-incest-just-1-of-all-abortions.html
This is a push-poll, nothing more, with results easily manipulated based on how you ask the question. 70% of people have no idea what overturning Roe v Wade would do and not do.
Men need Roe v. Wade so they can have unprotected sex without any worries about romance, long term commitments or financial responsibility.
“I don’t mind keeping it legal.”
It will be in Oregon and other heavily Democratic states.
The federal government has no business with respect to abortions performed in the states, pro or con.
A crazy man could run through the maternity ward of a hospital in New York City and chop the heads off every newborn and federal law simply wouldn’t apply.
The only way abortion will be totally outlawed in the USA is if Democrats feel themselves to be an endangered species politically in need of all likely future Democratic voters.
What gives this away as an outright biased sampling is the result that only 19 percent of the people questioned think the Supreme Court is too liberal, while 31 percent say it is too conservative. The Supreme Court too conservative by a 3 to 2 margin? Definitely a biased sample.
“Millions and millions of women for centuries did NOT abort their children. Why?? Because they didn’t believe in it.”
Normally not, they would be killing their future two-legged “Social Security” providers.
However, some inserted herbal pessaries that did the deed.
True.
Don’t forget it is not politically correct to be against abortion; any abortion, any time in pregnancy. Many now are programmed to be politically correct instead of deciding issues for themselves.
I personally have seen a big shift in younger women- 20-30, many are absolutely against it. They are not even bashful about speaking out against it on facebook. This poll did not reflect what I see.
I wonder if the question was if they support murdering babies how the poll would have turned out?
I don’t put stock in any poll, remember polls said Trump would not be elected President.
State’s rights. Just like everything else not specifically mentioned in the Constitution.
Yeah I agree. Many people oppose late term abortion but wouldn’t want an full ban.
A bare majority perhaps, but the agenda in the way this push poll is reported is impossible to miss.
But most legal scholars think it was poorly argued and decided - if it turns out to be inconsistent with a more strict-constructionist Constitutional interpretation of the law, and gets overturned - too bad.....
I now know what Quinnipiac polls are from what they say in this one. If that poll was telling the truth, the democrats would allow a referendum vote, the results of which would solve the issue. There is no way this poll is anywhere near accurate.
