Also you could agree with the supreme court overturning Roe vs Wade but also firmly believe that women should have the right to have an abortion.

(i.e. You could support women getting abortions, but also believe that this should be determined democratically at the level of the state)

This is why things are much more nuanced than simple soundbites can manage to handle!




Yea agree. It's at least a 2x2x2 matrix:

- Do you agree with having abortions?

- Do you think abortions should be regulated at the federal level?

- Do you think abortions should be legal?

probably many other dimensions.


Yes, and to add a 2x2x2x2 addition:

- Do you think abortions should be determined by legislature rather than the judiciary?

(i.e. Roe vs Wade was tenuous from a legal perspective, and IMO a supreme court shouldn't be able to make it's own laws up which I think this veered into, even though I 100% agree with a woman's right to abortions!).
