Not sure what you’re referring to. A majority certainly does not approve of overturning Roe, quite the opposite.

In polls they don't, but in practice, the majority voted for this outcome.

  Democratic candidates won the popular vote in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.

    Sorry, but those are people who went to the polls. Those who could vote but did not go to the polls voted for the winner. Voting by abstaining is still voting. If you include the voting population that did not vote in the tally, they effectively voted for this outcome. And before you complain, that's exactly what I was talking about. That's what we are talking about.

Are there any legitimate polls to back this up? An average American on the internet is probably against the ruling, but that still doesn't mean that the majority of Americans are against it. If that was the case, we should have either seen pressure building up on "pro-life" states or a BLM style movement in favor of legalizing abortion. But I don't see neither.

  Yes, lots of them, dating back years. A quick search gives me results of polls run by NPR, Washington Post, Gallup, CNN, Pew Research, NBC and CBS, to start with. The clear majority of Americans are in favor of legal abortion.

On the other hand, there has probably been significant geographic sorting, especially as the states that are leaning towards de jure abortion bans have been trending that way de facto for years, likely driving people that care about the issue to friendlier states. > or a BLM style movement in favor of legalizing abortion. Give it a minute, abortion was a legally protected right until 2 weeks ago.
