Abortion Rights Supported By A Majority Of Americans






These charts come from a Pew Research Center survey done between July 22nd and August 4th of this year. They questioned 4,175 adults nationwide, and the survey has a margin of error of only 1.9 points.

Fundamentalist right-wingers (and congressional Republicans) continue to push to outlaw abortions in the United States. But that is against what a majority of the American public wants. About 61% wants abortion to be legal in all or most cases, while only 38% want it illegal in all or most cases -- that's a significant gap of 23 points in favor of legal abortion.

In addition, a whopping 70% of the public wants Roe vs. Wade to remain in effect, while only 28% want the Supreme Court to overturn it.

Once again, the Republicans are on the wrong side of history.
