New polling data from Pew shows shift in Americans’ opinion since loss of constitutional right to abortion in June 2022
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.
The religious right seized on the revocation of 501©(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.
Massive 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.
