A misleading poll online\u00a0Survey Monkey poll<\/a>, conducted Sept. 5-7, 2018, by new media company Axios, has come under fire — from a surprising source. The poll asked<\/a>\u00a02,033 adults in the United States, “In 1973, the Roe v. Wade decision established a woman\u2019s constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn its Roe v. Wade decision?” The answer choices were, “No, leave decision as is,” or “Yes, overturn and make abortion illegal.”<\/p>\n

There’s a big problem with this.<\/p>\n
