THREAD:
1/ Great to be back on @thereidout w/ @JoyAnnReid. ICYMI, key points on the extremity of near-total bans on abortion in OK & other states.:
60% of Americans say abortion should be legal in all/most cases.
Consistent data across 5 decades

2/ Very few Americans say abortion should be ILLEGAL in ALL cases:
15% all Americans
15% Oklahomans
There is no state in which more than 1 in 4 support a total ban on abortion.

3/ Data doesn't support claims of a "Christian view" on abortion.
Only 2 major religious groups--white evangelical Protestants & Latino Protestants--have majority opposition to abortion.
Majorities of every other major religious group say abortion sb legal in all/most cases.

4/ Raft of anti-abortion bills aren't just opportunistic b/c of SCOTUS composition. But of a piece w/ anti-CRT, anti-LGBTQ, anti-immigrant bills. Linked by a backward-looking, dominionist view of America as a white Christian nation, even as that grp has ceased to be a majority.

5/ Ex: Percent who say American culture and way of life has changed for the WORSE since the 1950s:
52% All
70% Rep
36% Dem
69% wh evangelicals
