This has been covered quite a bit. This is from a gallup poll. It mentions first trimester (13 weeks), but I've heard the 15 week timeframe discussed a lot too.
"When asked about the legality of abortion at different stages of pregnancy, about two-thirds of Americans say it should be legal in the first trimester (69%), while support drops to 37% for the second trimester and 22% for the third. Majorities oppose abortion being legal in the second (55%) and third (70%) trimesters."
Neil, I'm sorry, I read the stats wrong - I thought you said 70% are ok with 2nd and 3rd trimester abortion. But honestly I trust Gallup as much as I trust the FDA, CDC, NIH or Fauci, because Gallup doesn't show what sample size or detail of people they polled, and liberal MSM relies on their legacy as the longest running polling organization to push a narrative. The typical sample size for a Gallup poll, either a traditional stand-alone poll or one night's interviewing from Gallup's Daily tracking, is 1,000 national adults with a margin of error of ±4 percentage points. I had to go dig for that because it's not in the link posted. I'm no statistician, but I can't believe they can actually scale a 1,000 person poll to the population of this entire country without pushing their own internal agenda (Gallup's CFO Taek is also a member of the "CFO Coalition Leadership Group for the United Nations Global Compact"). I wish there was a better way to "trust but verify."
Gallup is one source. While I didn't log the sources as I have read them, over the last 5 years or so there seems to have emerged a pretty clear consensus - about 70% of people in the US agree that abortion should be legal up to around 15 weeks.
I would like to see where the 70% stat you mentioned came from.
