You'll often see Democrats and left leaning polling companies like Pew make a big deal about how most people don't support completely repealing Roe v. Wade.
The problem is few people know what Roe v. Wade is and what it legalized.
According to a new poll that word their questions better and ask just what restrictions, if any, the respondents want on abortions we know that only 18% of Americans support abortion for any reason right up till birth.
That poll gave people 6 options to choose from. The first option says "Abortion should be available to a woman any time she wants one during her entire pregnancy". Only 18% of respondents chose that option.
That means that whether or not they know it 82% of Americans reject Roe v. Wade.
A lot of Americans mistakenly think that abortion is only for a good reason and only early on in a pregnancy, unless of course the mother's life is at risk later in her pregnancy.
The reality is that even late term abortions are mostly for non-medical reasons. Here's what the Guttmacher institute, a highly pro-abortion think tank associated with Planned Parenthood, said were the causes for late term abortions; essentially after the unborn baby has a shot at living if delivered instead of butchered.
Other research shows that late term abortions aren't mostly due to a threat to the mother's life or the baby being "imperfect" or sick but rather for the same reason that early abortions occur.
