We should remember that white women in Texas very likely support this law

40. As I point out above your 85% figure is wrong

but using the more accurate 78% it still would be wrong. There were four categories in the abortion question, which got combined in the version you used for your stat. Always legal, legal in most cases, illegal in most cases, always illegal. Of the 45% who they put in illegal for the 2nd version, 30% were illegal in most cases, 15% illegal in all cases. The law in question, bans abortions after 6 weeks in all cases but life of mother. I would think it is reasonable to think that the 30% who think illegal in most cases would include rape and incest in the few cases they would allow it. Thus it is likely around 15% or so favor the restrictions that this law imposes, not 45% of Texans. Even if you give half of the most cases, that is 30% not 45% of voters overall. In addition, even those opposed to most or all abortions might well not favor the enforcement mechanism of this law. For example, I am in favor of severe restrictions on guns, I would oppose a law with a similar enforcement mechanism applied to guns.
