The small minority you're thinking of is the LGBTQRFDAXCV people.
Not sure if I should mention that 70% of Americans identify as Christian with your current anger and hatred towards religion. The alt-left has been nothing but a plague for Democrats.

It's not that you're a liar Shaps, it's that you don't bother to read the source material and instead rely on buzzfeed to make you think something supports your argument. When in reality it destroys your POV.The late Supreme Court justice believed the landmark ruling was too sweeping and vulnerable to attacks, explains Professor Mary Hartnett, co-author of Justice Ginsburg’s authorized biography
Ruth Bader Ginsburg wasn’t really fond of Roe v. Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision that in 1973 established a constitutional right to abortion. She didn’t like how it was structured.
The ruling, she noted in a lecture at New York University in 1992, tried to do too much, too fast — it essentially made every abortion restriction in the country at the time illegal in one fell swoop — leaving it open to fierce attacks.
“Doctrinal limbs too swiftly shaped,” she said, “may prove unstable.”
It was because of her early criticism of one of the most consequential rulings for American women that some feminist activists were initially suspicious of her when President Bill Clinton nominated her for the Supreme Court in 1993, worried that she wouldn’t protect the decision.
Of course, they eventually realized that Justice Ginsburg’s skepticism of Roe v. Wade wasn’t driven by a disapproval of abortion access at all, but by her wholehearted commitment to it.
The way Justice Ginsburg saw it, Roe v. Wade was focused on the wrong argument — that restricting access to abortion violated a woman’s privacy. What she hoped for instead was a protection of the right to abortion on the basis that restricting it impeded gender equality, said Mary Hartnett, a law professor at Georgetown University who will be a co-writer on the only authorized biography of Justice Ginsburg.
Justice Ginsburg “believed it would have been better to approach it under the equal protection clause” because that would have made Roe v. Wade less vulnerable to attacks in the years after it was decided, Professor Hartnett said.'

Roughly the same time period, but let us look at the numbers you cite. 32% support total legality, while 48% support legal only under certain circumstances -- a total of 80% who support the right to an abortion. While only 19% indicate it should be illegal under any circumstances. Essentially -- Texas. Thanks for supporting my argument!

For the record and I'm sure maybe only a few people give any fucks, "Legal under most circumstances" is where my indicator would lie.
I spit that hot FIYAAA!!!
So I believe, as science does, that life begins at conception. That being said, I realize abortion is a complex issue. Morally I’m staunchly opposed to it, but the libertarian in me somewhat recognizes the topic is politically multifaceted.
Could liberals and conservatives perhaps compromise to agree abortions should not be legal after 24 weeks? The reason I pick 24 weeks is that’s the point the fetus can be delivered and stands a probable chance of surviving on their own. It stands to reason that a woman would have plenty of opportunity to make a poor judgment murderous decision up to that point.

That's not a small minority. Your 80% is bullshit when "under certain circumstances" = roughly 1% of all abortions.
The vast majority of Americans view abortion as a form of birth control as repugnant.

I believe 21 weeks was the 'arbitrary' number a couple of us had discussed in the other thread to make the murderous decision as you put it. But I believe an exception has to be made for medically necessary abortions at a later time, one hinging on either the serious illness/death of the mother. Mandatory amniocentesis could also help a great deal in ensuring infants who will die in their infancy shouldn't have to suffer.
