'& her doctor' automatically implies some kind of medical necessity (edit: AND implies a sensible, rational decision making process involving an authority figure)

Having no middle ground between 'all or most cases legal' and 'all or most cases illegal' means a lot of moderates who prefer limited abortion had to choose 'all or most cases legal'

They are invoking authority but not heeding it. MOST doctors, even or especially the ones that are qualified, would refuse to perform an abortion. They want to doctor shop and then claim doctor approval. Which you can do for almost anything. Doesn't make it right.

Doesn't make it right.

Yeah, I'm saying they're manipulating the polls (as always) by asking leading questions. They ask 'shouldn't it be between a woman and her doctor' (which implies a medical need and wise, expert oversight) to make it sound reasonable, then they use the poll numbers to advance their real position, which is 'a woman should able to get an abortion whenever she wants'

If they'd been honest and asked 'shouldn't a woman be able to get a abortion whenever she wants?', or maybe 'shouldn't abortions be conveniently accessible?' the numbers would be different. But now the talking point is '75% of people disagree with the supreme court's decision, they're going against the will of the overwhelming majority'

Dishonesty.

Oh, yeah, I agree about that. I answer a lot of polls I guess because I answer random calls to my work number that gets forwarded to my cell phone (it's rarely business, but one can hope). They have an annoying way of asking questions.
