Woah this is a very interesting point

  conspiracies are not "very interesting point[s]" The reality is that: 1. Abortion has always been one of the most divisive topics in the US 2. Roe vs. Wade to begin with was a very shaky legal hodgepodge based around right to privacy 3. Codifying something like that takes immense political might and public approval neither of which existed in a significant capacity

    It’s not that divisive outside the political class. 60+% majorities have supported abortion as a right until near the end of the second trimester, and for the health of the mother after that (for 30+ years).

      That is not the case. Support drops well below a majority after the first trimester, and always has. https://news.gallup.com/poll/321143/americans-stand-abortion.aspx#:~:text=Support%20for%20Abortion%20Rights%20Varies,and%2022%25%20for%20the%20third https://news.gallup.com/poll/321143/americans-stand-abortion....
