Support for Roe v. Wade has reached a high point since the the Wall Street Journal and NBC News began asking about the decision in 2005, NBC News reported Monday.
Seventy-one percent of Americans are opposed to Roe being overturned, a record high since 2005, while just 23 percent say it should be overturned, a record low for the poll.
Eighty-eight percent of Democrats, 76 percent of independents and 52 percent of Republicans support Roe, according to the recent poll results.
Brett Kavanaugh, President Donald Trumps Supreme Court nominee and, potentially, the scale-tipping vote necessary to overturn Roe, has the support of 32 percent of Americans, according to the poll, compared to 26 percent who oppose his confirmation.

(4,651 posts)according to Amanda Marcotte, the paths are either
) the states will enact their own laws about abortion. Many have already done this in anticipation or
2) Congress will enact legislation to ban abortion nationally.
If #2 happens that will be final as an appeal to SCOTUS would be a non-starter

(5,625 posts)Are made up largely of thumpers and theocrats who believe that overturning Roe v. Wade will end abortions forever in the U.S., at which time they can do the praise Jesus dance and celebrate that there will never be another abortion done. Zero. Zip.
Which is total baloney, of course. Reversing Roe will return us to the "good old days", when rich women could go wherever they needed to go for an abortion, and the only option for poor women was what we called "back alley abortions", which were extremely dangerous.
