ABC News: 35% Want Roe Overturned

ABC News reports that the majority of Americans support Alito and support Roe v. Wade being upheld.

At the same time, this ABC News/Washington Post poll finds that six in 10 would want Alito, if confirmed, to vote to uphold Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 abortion-rights case.

The chart accompanying this story says that 35% want Roe overturned. So much for that position being “out of touch” with mainstream America. One of every three people you see walking down the street wants Roe to be overturned, and most probably even think of that to mean “make abortion illegal” which is really not what it would do.

What I also found fascinating was that those who claimed to go to church monthly are not any different than the population at large, regarding Roe, and even those weekly church goers only favor overturning Roe by slightly more than half (54%). And 27% of Democrats want Roe overturned.

Interesting stuff.
