Polls show that a majority of Americans both support upholding Roe v. Wade and pre-viability restrictions on abortion that Roe v. Wade wouldn't allow.
NEW YORK TIMES, WASHINGTON POST OPINION SECTIONS STRONGLY NEGATIVE ON SUPREME COURT ABORTION RULING: ANALYSISDemonstrators march and gather near the state capitol following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade in Austin, Texas. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is being sued by health care providers over allegedly threatening ot prosecute abortion providers.
That dissonance in Americans' abortion views – supporting bans on abortion while also claiming to support a standard that would disallow those same bans – suggests Americans lack a clear understanding of what Roe v. Wade required. To many media critics, that's a clear sign that the liberal hive mind in many newsrooms is misleading the public.
"If public support for abortion was as strong as the left and the media want to think it is and say that it is… they should have no problem with Roe v. Wade being overturned and abortion restrictions being sent back to the states, because all people would have to do and all representatives in their states would have to do in state legislatures would have to do, is simply pass laws codifying Roe in that state," she said.
"For 50 years, abortion bullies used the courts to shut down conversation and policy debate, but things are changing," she added."We will have real options on how best to protect life, and the blanket assertion that"everybody" supports abortion will be tested with real policy choices."The framing of abortion in the press has been a sore spot for conservatives for decades.
Liberal radio host Leslie Marshall, a Fox News contributor, said there were many nuances to abortion views in the United States, and she challenged those who oppose abortion to consider the difficult choices a woman considering terminating a pregnancy faces, rather than demonizing her.
