The point is that 70% plus view Roe as essentially correct.
That is why it will not be overturned and people should not expect that to happen in the near future.
This is the root of my argument.
"The point is that 70% plus view Roe as essentially correct."
Wrong. Roe is ABORTION ON DEMAND FOR ANY REASON EVERYWHERE IN THE US. 60% OPPOSE that view.
Dear Cold Heat,
"That is a obvious answer. They would fall into the restriction category, of course.
"The point is that 70% plus view Roe as essentially correct."
Ground out to pitcher. Hope you do better next time.
Your first sentence contradicts your second.
In reply to this question from WhistlingPastTheGraveyard:
"Of the three choices ('Generally available' - 'Available, but under stricter limits' - 'Should not be permitted'), which one would those repondents who favor abortion only in cases of rape, incest and life of the mother fall in to?"
you answer:
""That is a obvious answer. They would fall into the restriction category, of course."
Yet, in your next sentence, you lump the "restriction category" in with the group that views Roe as essentially correct.
ROTFLMAO!
C'mon, you can do better than that. Folks who want to restrict abortions to those exceptions are nearly as far from the holdings of Roe as I am! LOL.
But nonetheless, Roe, according to the Supreme Court, permits virtually no limits on abortion. Not on partial birth abortion, not on third trimester abortions. Not on abortions for sex selection. Not on abortions for eye color selection (we're getting there, have no fear).
Thus, 70% don't essentially agree with Roe.
Less than 40% essentially agree with Roe.
Most folks think the law ought to be significantly stricter than Roe.
And that's why it is necessary to overturn Roe, to permit the issue to become one that can be resolved by the PEOPLE, not the COURTS.
Sorry to see that someone who claims to be a conservative is such a judicial activist.
