According to a new Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll<\/a>, the majority of Americans want Roe v. Wade<\/em> either modified or overturned. Roe<\/em> (and its partner decision, Doe v. Bolton<\/em>) legalized abortion through all nine months of pregnancy. Unfortunately, in a secondary poll question, respondents were given misleading and confusing answer choices when asked about what point in pregnancy they would want abortion to be made illegal.<\/p>\n

The poll, which was an online survey of 1,295 registered voters on May 29-30, found that while 46 percent think the Supreme Court should uphold Roe v. Wade<\/em>, 54 percent think the Supreme Court got it wrong with Roe v. Wade<\/em>. Of that, 18 percent said Roe v. Wade<\/em> should be completely overturned and 36 percent said it should be modified.<\/p>\n

Results of the Harvard CAPS\/Harris poll on Roe v. Wade.<\/p><\/div>\n

Despite the fact that more than half of those surveyed disagree with Roe v. Wade<\/em>, The Hill reported the results as “nearly half of Americans say Supreme Court should uphold Roe v. Wade.” This type of biased headline at first glance makes it appear as though most Americans support abortion-on-demand. This simply isn’t true.<\/p>\n

Interesting way to report that the majority of Americans would like Roe modified or overturned https:\/\/t.co\/7MPDmiplZ4<\/a><\/p>\n
