2. So what? Individual issue polling NEVER tracks with what those in power actually do.

The will of the people is utterly irrelevant to what those in DC do once they are there.

We have turned a corner to minority rule. I guess the next thing to overturn is the women's right to vote or roll back the Civil Rights Act. We are already attacking vulnerable children in public schools and banning books. We had a criminal President who continues to enjoy his freedom while running for President again. We are either have to buy pitchforks or hobnailed boots. Keep in mind that we are losing ground very fast with a Democratic President, House and Senate. How do you think that things are going to go when the Republicans return to power.

The Republicans always talk about freedom. If we get much more of their brand of freedom we will all be in chains. Orwell warned us about what could happen, but did we listen?

8. Alito says that the Constitution doesn't mention "abortion" as his reason to justify banning it.

Neither does the Constitution mention "murder". How about "rape"? Why ban them? Ooops! The Constitution doesn't mention "incest", either. Katie bar the Door! Tax evasion? Nothing. Vehicular manslaughter? Nada. Looks like the Supreme Court has a lot of work to "undo".

6. It's practically unavailable in most states right now

Most people don't realize how difficult it is to obtain services in their own states/counties.

Too many people have gone along, clueless, assuming as long as abortion is a "right" then everything's fine.

in almost half the states.

How people answer issue polls and how they actually vote are often two very different things.
