What's most upsetting to me about overturning Roe v Wade is that white women did this.

103. You said a plurality of white men voted for Trump

That is blatantly wrong. 62% is a considerable majority. You also claimed that white women supported Trump in numbers greater than the overall electorate, which you said voted 48% for Trump. That's one point more than the 47% of white women that Pew says voted for Trump. That's 1 point less than the overall electorate, not more.

Additionally, the Pew study is based on exit poll data. The polls prior to the election were wildly off. Why is everyone assuming that exit polls were more accurate?

What I don't like is that some people are taking this as an opportunity to chastise white women on DU, who supported Clinton--probably a majority of us supported Clinton in the primary as well. Meanwhile, a certain, smallish percentage of self-identified Democrats or leftists, most of whom were white men, refused to vote for Clinton. They argued that SCOTUS wasn't a reason to vote for Clinton. They spread Russian propaganda about Clinton, all because they were angry that Democrats had the nerve to prefer her to their own chosen candidate. Yet none of them take responsibility for this or anything else that Trump wrought. Instead, they blame white women.
