(Jacob Bruns, Headline USA) A new poll released by Rasmussen has revealed that the majority of Americans support the Supreme Court’s recent overturning of Roe v. Wade, contradicting the story generally told by the mainstream media that Americans love abortion and believe that it is a right.
The survey showed that 50% of probable U.S. voters supported the decision, with 38% saying that they strongly support the decision, reported Life News.
Only 45% of probable voters said that they disapproved, with 38% strongly disapproving. Among Republican voters 75% approved; among Democrats 71% disapproved.
Independents, who often lean slightly Left, even tended to support the decision by a 53% to 42% split–a dire sign for Democrats in the upcoming midterms.
According to the poll, 53% of white Americans, 41% of black voters and 49% of other minorities at least somewhat approve of the decision.
Left-wing Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan and Stephen Breyer supported the continuation of infantide, calling the overturning of Roe “draconian.”
In the monumental decision, Justice Samuel Alito reasoned that striking down Roe returns the authority to the people, as guaranteed by the United States Constitution, rather than allowing the Court to legislate.
“Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives,” Alito wrote before ripping into the infamous decision.
“Roe was egregiously wrong from the start. Its reasoning was exceptionally weak, and the decision has had damaging consequences,” he wrote.
The decision, while a decisive victory for the pro-life movement, kicks the issue to the states, which will decide to accept or ignore laws from their legislatures regarding abortion.
