Despite former President Trump's role in appointing three Supreme Court justices who contributed to overturning Roe v. Wade, a new poll suggests that most voters don't attribute rising abortion restrictions to him. Conducted by the progressive think tank and polling firm Data for Progress, the poll found that fewer than a quarter of voters overall, including only 36 percent of Democrats and 11 percent of Republicans, hold Trump responsible for new abortion bans or restrictions.

 

Instead, voters place more blame on Republicans in state office, Republicans in Congress, and the Supreme Court, which ruled in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization to overturn Roe. Data for Progress suggests that President Biden's efforts to direct blame towards Trump for the end of Roe could help voters better understand Trump's role in curtailing abortion rights.

 

The Biden-Harris reelection campaign has been vocal about the importance of abortion rights in the next election and has directly blamed Trump for his anti-abortion policies. Biden has called on Congress to codify protections offered by Roe and has pledged to sign such a bill into law immediately if passed.

 

However, Biden has faced criticism from reproductive rights activists who believe he's too tepid in his support for abortion rights. Some activists argue that Biden's statements, such as expressing opposition to "abortion on demand," reinforce abortion stigma and undermine efforts to protect abortion rights beyond what Roe provided.

 

While Biden aims to appeal to the majority of Americans who support some restrictions on abortion, he also faces pressure from activists who advocate for broader protections for abortion access. The upcoming election presents voters with a choice between maintaining the status quo or furthering protections for abortion rights. Biden, like many Democrats, seeks to navigate this delicate balance to appeal to a broad base of voters while addressing the diverse perspectives on abortion rights within the party.

But millions of future voters should be grateful for the opportunity to be born.  Sadly, they'll be indoctrinated to hate the very act(s) that allowed their birth.

 

Another set up to dump on Trump... it's likely that he had very little input into the supreme court ruling... which, by the way, did not ban abortion murder it just put abortion murder policy back in the state's jurisdiction where it belonged in the first place.  Typical demoncratic rhetoric to distort the issue... How would they react if the headline read... Trump Saves Thousands of Potential Murder Victims???

Not all voters are rightwing Republicans.

 

Many are not indoctrinated to hate.

Show me a single Repub who's advocating re-education camps for their political opponents.  Even in jest or as hyperbole (so they claim).

Nah, they’re too busy burning books and hating on stuff they don’t understand.
