Are suburban white women really passionate about pro choice

I have read a few articles talk about how suburban women (which in my mind is code for white women) won’t like Roe being overturned and will turn against the Republicans. But I am wondering if that’s true....it seems like the suburban white women that I run into always seem to be hard core Christian Republicans who are anti abortion....and if anything they may be the minority but they seem to be more passionate and vocal about their position

The ultra religious white catholic women are very against pro-choice. Democrats “ kill babies” and all.

I live in a quite red city of about 170,000. Its suburbs make it look like a liberal oasis by comparison. I have a hard time believing there are more than a handful of women in ANY of those suburbs who are pro-choice.

I know in the Tanakh Exodus 21:22-23, if two men are fighting and cause a woman to have a miscarriage the man who causes it must pay the husband of the woman compensatory damages so the fetus is considered property not a person.

When I was a suburban women, few of my neighbors were dedicated to the change I felt was needed. Our children's schools were top priority.

I became radicalized because of the Vietnam War. I'm sure more suburban women are political, depending on where the suburb is.

Uniformity is valued in a lot of suburbs, but certainly not all...
