Positions on Abortion
The Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade on last Friday, holding that there is no longer a federal constitutional right to an abortion. This is really disheartening. After some search, I found a pretty comprehensive page by YouGov covering the results on many abortion related polls. I am going to visualization people’s position on if abortion should be legal or illegle this week.

- Comparing men and women, men slightly more lean towards ‘illegal’ than women;
- But the difference between gender is much small than the difference among different political groups – 74% of the Democrats believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases in their states, but only 29% of the Republicans think the same.
