Great historic decision.
The fact that it's only polling 49% here as opposed to 60%-75% nationally is one of the cases where the white male skew of this Forum really outweighs its liberalism.
Posters here, being keyed into political debates, probably are more knowledgeable on the whole than the general public about what the decision actually is. A lot of Americans support Roe v Wade, but also support restricting abortion in ways Roe does not allow.
Hispanics are a bit more anti-abortion than whites who are a bit more anti-abortion than blacks; the racial difference isn't huge. Young single women are the most supportive demographic for abortion rights; older married women with children are the least.
Actually, the general public is well familiar with the most important aspect of the case, which is that it is a key landmark in postwar women's rights law that established a woman's right to control her own body. The specifics of what restrictions it allows are of secondary importance, since that has already changed over time, as is the precise legal framework under which the result is justified (as some have pointed out, that has been superceded by Casey).
This is a Forum for brosocialists; John Dule's post outright asserting white male superiority frankly shows this. There are times I wonder how many here would turn to outright fascism if it happened to promise Medicare for All... probably a lot. We are a more Trumpist forum than is commonly appreciated. It is only when discussing certain topics though that this tendency becomes insufferably intolerable and
Roe is one of them.
