1. A bit from the article:

   > In the two years after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, leading to abortion bans across many parts of the south and midwest, abortion rights have only grown more popular, new polling from Pew research Center has found.
   >
   > A majority of Americans has long supported abortion rights. But more than 60% of Americans now believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases – a four percentage-point jump from 2021, the year before Roe fell.

2. Hopefully the cretins remember DJT is sending them back to Hanger abortions and vote accordingly.

3. it´s crazy that this number is not in the 80-90% range

4. In a related study, nearly 40% of Americans are assholes who believe the government should control every aspect of our lives.

5. But will this translate to votes?

   We have been ruled by a tyranny of the minority for as long as this has been a nation. When will have our voices heard?

6. Maybe we should be allowed to directly vote on it. Like an amendment to the constitution? Novel f’king concept.

7. Honestly shocked those numbers aren’t higher. Will people vote with sense, though? Majority rule needs a comeback.

8. Sadly a lot of them think it is Bidens fault that it is no longer legal because it happened during his presidency.

9. I don’t understand why the pro-choice side doesn’t specifically lay out what we want: A woman’s right to privacy should extend 23 weeks (up to viability of the then child) and involve a doctor to help with decisions after that point in time. It’s a simple argument that makes sense.

10. they better vote out ALL maga republicans or many freedoms will be lost. checked out Project 2025 yet? be afraid, be very afraid

11. Hopefully more than 60% in Florida agree and vote appropriately this November. But I’m not terribly hopeful.

12. 95% say abortion should be legal when they need find that they or their partner need one…
