Here are some results from a recent poll concerning abortion: Only 10 percent of Americans support abortion rights up to nine months. Only 28 percent of Americans would permit abortion up to 23 weeks. The most popular polled position is a 15-week ban, which garners a collective 72 percent support.
In other words, the extremes (and this includes those who would ban ALL abortions, no matter what) may be loud and passionate, but they don't represent the vast majority of people in the country.
I was not surprised by headlines basically describing just how much Democrats had to trim from the original multi-trillion dollar Build Back Better bill, often featured above the actual passing of a still-giant version of the bill. But I can't help but be bothered by this "bad news bias."
There are STILL politicians campaigning on promises to revisit the 2020 election, now 19 months in the past. Plenty of voters will continue to cast a ballot for such wackos, but it's just a game of "owning the libs" and showing fealty to their god: Trump.
Most Americans, however, are well beyond caring about bizarre claims and are more interested in droughts and floods and inflation and monkeypox and school starting up for the kids...
