Do Americans Support Roe v Wade?: What the Polling Says | Arjun Moorthy | The Factual
Listen now
Description
A recently leaked draft of a Supreme Court decision indicates the court might plan to overturn Roe v Wade has added heat to an already contentious issue. While the abortion debate seems to be a war between two intractable sides, a large group of Americans stand in the middle who are both uncomfortable with the practice of abortion and supportive of Roe v Wade.
Arjun Moorthy from The Factual discusses some recent polls that show Americans' opinions on the subject are far more nuanced than the narrative would have us believe.
