Does the Public Understand Roe v Wade?

For those of you that don't know what a reversal of the Roe v Wade decision would mean, it would simply leave the decision up to each individual state. So it is quite possible that some of the really conservative states might ban abortion. But it would remain legal throughout the vast majority of the country.

I don't really have a strong opinion on the issue. But if Roe v Wade was overturned and abortion was made illegal in a few conservative states, I don't think that would be the end of the world.

Idiotic lawmakers like Paul Ryan and Todd Akins have zero right to insert their opinions between a woman and her doctor.

Stop worrying about controlling other people's personal reproductive lives, Rupert. You do have an opinion, that "it wouldn't be the end of the world for states to choose to ban abortion"

If you are so against other people having the freedom to make the personal decision to have an abortion, you should at least be fighting for sex education and free birth control for all.

The only reason to encourage overturning of Roe v Wade is to prevent women from having rights to control their own reproductive lives.
