No, Teen Vogue, abortion is not 'popular'

Teen Vogue, the magazine that shut down its print operations after Hillary Clinton lost and Condé Nast realized it functioned as little more than toilet paper at a sorority social, has an interesting addition to "Across the Aisle," their article series attempting to document political divides. Abortion, the outlet says, is "popular."

"Abortion may have incredibly vocal opponents, but polling that’s been conducted since before abortion was legal shows that reproductive choice was and remains popular," Caitlin Cruz writes. "Maybe it’s time for the national media to treat abortion supporters as the loudest voices in the room."

To her credit, Cruz actually cites public opinion polls. Unfortunately, Cruz obviously doesn't know how to read them.

A woman's right to bodily autonomy is not determined by popularity or polls.

You cannot forcibly make a man donate his body or parts of his body, at risk of his health or life for any other human being. Neither can you do so for a woman.

A woman's right to consent is ALSO not determined by popularity or polls.

Consenting to sex, is not consent to pregnancy.

I can't think how this is even a topic of conversation anymore. If you don't believe in abortion, don't have one... and stop using your opinion to violate someone else's autonomy and consent.

I agree with author. Americans love and worship murder

Was that polling done only within the editorial board of Teen Vogue?
