FOX NEWS POLL

Fox News Poll: Two-thirds say abortion pill should be legal

Gallop: Only 13% of Americans believe abortion should be illegal in all cases

https://news.gallup.com/poll/1576/abortion.aspx

Five Thirty-Eight: 85 to 90% of Americans believe Abortion should be legal in at least some circumstances.

Sure makes you look pretty stupid, doesn't it? Yeah, it does. You don't know what you're talking about.

 

LOL - beating you is always so easy :)

So - if people think there should be restrictions, they're not entirely PRO CHOICE - are they. They believe there should be restrictions. 

SO - first off you pull an older poll from last year ignoring more recent polling.  Like this one:

So the vast majority of americans want NO abortion or RESTRICTED abortion - which is precisely what i said. That's from may this year. And -

A follow-up question asked of those taking the middle position finds 13% want abortion to be legal under most circumstances, while 36% favor it in only a few circumstances. The result is 47% of U.S adults favoring expansive abortion rights (legal in all or most cases) and 49% favoring more restrictive rights (legal in only a few or no cases).

So the majority of people prefer extremely restricted rights - and of the remainder 36 percent still want there to be restrictions.

SO no - not everyone is 'pro choice' - the majority are 'limited choice at best, just as i said.

 

And the problem with the pew data is in the question "some or most" doesn't give people a clear question to answer,

So if we want to look at opinions last year - lets look at a bunch of polls all at once.  538 can help us there:

 And they note -

One of the most significant ways in which support for abortion varies depends on when in the pregnancy the abortion is perfomed. Polls have found that a large majority of Americans support abortion in the first trimester, but that support tends to drop in the second trimester.

So - after the first trimester support falls off to well below half of the population - more like a quarter

 

So once again I was right and you were wrong. 

People support very restricted abortion choices - they are not "pro choice" other than they'd like SOME choice, but not what we had before.

Taylor Swift had become the enemy of the Right because she encouraged people to register to vote.  Shows you that the right wing is truly fascist and hates the U.S. Constitution. 

The only thing that statement proves is that there's no need for you to waste money on drugs to impair your brain :)
