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.

> Are there any legitimate polls to back this up? A number of legitimate polls have found substantial majorities/pluralities opposing the ruling [0]. > should have either seen pressure building up on "pro-life" states On the one hand, I've definitely seen this pressure at the grassroots. 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.
