According To Polling, The Republican Position On Abortion Is Most In Line With The Average American

And, while fifty-five percent of Americans oppose overturning Roe V Wade, only twenty-five percent want the Supreme Court to decide abortion law, which is illogical on many counts.

Yes the average American does support some type of limit I don't argue that point but I don't agree with the title. Where are you referencing the bolded above on the Senators it is not in the article or the poll? Your drawing your own conclusions even though the poll reflect otherwise.

Again your making your own conclusion only 44% want State Legislatures to set abortion standards, 31% want Congress and 25% want Scotus that mean 56% want anyone but the state deciding what the law should be. (Page 42 of 51).

Imagine the life of a child whose mother wanted to kill it before it was born.

Hopefully it's having a wonderful life with it's adoptive parents. Nobody says you have to keep the child, but at least let it live.

We'd never be talking about it at all if the left was not so obstinately determined to call it a trampling of women's rights as long as there are any limits on abortion. They have made late term abortion, i.e. infanticide the hill they're ready to die on. It's obscene what they want, really. They're a death cult and they call it freedom. They glorify the termination of a being as a success ... a win. Without the extremists on both sides abortion with a reasonable time limit would be a done deal agreed upon by the vast majority of moderate Americans.

This is a survey of about 1500 people with no reference to show where they stand politically before the questions are asked. US Population today is around 332 million +/-

37% oppose any abortion other than rape/incest and 12% believe 6 weeks should be the limit breakdown by party is not shown but you would be more accurate to say "49% of Republicans oppose or support a very limited option to choose an abortion" than your statement above.

Like too many you think the late term option is wide spread and made on a whim, the reality is that it is a serious medical decision made between a woman and her doctor(s) and only looked at in extreme situations. You act like someone wakes up at 8 months and decides to terminate, nothing could be farther from the truth.

You condemn the "radical left" as being uncompromising while its Republicans of all degrees who are ready to remove all reasonable options of choice with many looking to criminalize the woman, the providers and facilities both in and out of their state jurisdiction. Of course once woman are forced to carry to term these same self-righteous hypocrites care nothing for the welfare of the child or the mother.

I do agree with you that "extremists on both sides abortion" have been a hinderance to a reasonable time limit.

I support abortion with limits.
I also support small government.
The more power the scotus takes away from the feds and gives back to the states, the better.
Don’t like that? Move. It’s really that easy.
Most of these crybabies won’t be affected anyway.
The blue states will have drive thru abortion clinics at every corner, no limits, right up to going into labor. Most red states are close enough to blue states that planning an Aborcation won’t be a big deal.

Factually incorrect. Black women have abortions at ~4 times the rate of white women, yet black children are much less likely to adopted.

Surprised to see that 75% of the population recognizes how our government is supposed to work and understand separation of powers. It was NEVER the job or within the power of SCOTUS to create laws, that is the job of the legislature (Congress). For that reason, Roe should never have passed, as even RGB seemed to understand-in spite of her voting based on her desire and emotion, rather than the law. Congress has had half a century to do their job and pass a law codifying abortion rights and limitations. And didn't do so.
