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.
This support transcends numerous demographic divides in US society: most men, women, white people, Black people, Hispanic people and Asian people believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. It extends to majorities of all age groups and education levels, although 18-to-29-year-olds and people with more education are more likely than other cohorts to believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases.
I hope this translates to the voting polls.
65Several states, including Florida, are putting state constitution enshrinement of abortion rights on the November ballot. It’s going to come down to communication and awareness for most.

In the past messaging on this has been so poor on this topic. To the point where people don’t even really understand how common a medical abortion is, or that they’re now essentially illegal, risk factors from being denied care due to these laws, etc. They’ve let the gop take the baby killer ball and run with it for years. So now we’ve got a lot of ground to make up educationally…are bare minimum. And I think once we get to that place support will be near universal.
39Absolutely, and it goes even further than that. Practitioners in related fields, for ethical or monetary reasons, have been relocating to states where abortion is legal. It’s simply devastating for women’s reproductive health overall.
18It will take be a massive undertaking considering how much misinformation is out there.

Nowhere in the Bible does "God" speak against abortions. In fact it supports it. Numbers 5:19-22 When civil rights became an issue in the 60's, that is when abortion became an issue.
29The religious right seized on the revocation of 501(c)(3) status for private schools that discriminate based on race as their initial cause. That plus white flight allowed the southern states to maintain segregation in schools. It culminated in the Bob Jones University vs United States case in the Supreme Court. They didn’t say a thing about abortion until the late ‘70s.
5Massive reason I don't support Bill Gates foundation with all the billionaires promising their money there. You know there is a darker reason and they are buying good press for now.
Fuck all religious groups. Pay your fuckong taxes like the billionaires. You books even say to pay them. Not you satanic church, you are really doing God's work.
