That’s fine but let’s face reality. The strong majority didn’t want Roe overturned. They just wanted restrictions on abortion.

Right but Democrats will play the Roe fiddle right into the midterms. I can only see that as negative for the GOP.

Do we know that for sure, perhaps most of the polls say that or we are told the polls say that but is it really true.

Rush Limbaugh use to say, polls are used to drive public opinion not a reflection of public opinion.

Most of these polls are run by liberals, naturally they will show liberal ideas are favored by the public.

If the questions are framed so that overturning Roe v. Wade means elimination of abortion, the polls may be true.

If the questions are framed that says they states will decide the issue of abortion the results might be totally different.

All I’m saying is let’s take polls for what they are, drivers of public opinion.

Despite the iconic status of Roe, decades of liberal propaganda and distortions mean that most people are unaware of the details and simply do not know that Roe permits abortion in nearly all cases, even just before birth. Detailed polling shows that the public mostly wants early abortion to be legal, and late abortion illegal, with the middle ground in dispute. Alito's draft opinion is unusually clear and well-written and is likely to prove persuasive over time.

The overturn of Roe will just put the authority to the states. Some states will continue to allow abortion in the third trimester. Some will restrict it to the first trimester. A few may outlaw it entirely from conception, but I don’t think that many will.
