There is no consensus for outlawing abortion. Most Americans are pro-choice.

The pro-choice position is that abortion should be legal on demand through all nine months of pregnancy.  There has never been even one poll which showed majority support for that position.  The most that can be said is that a majority of people may support abortion in the extremely rare “hard-case” situations.  Since even abortion industry studies show that virtually no abortions are done for these reasons, it is clear that most Americans do not support the vast majority of abortions that are actually performed. 

This “pro-choice majority” lie is nothing more than political spin and the abortion industry’s own actions prove it.  Anyone who believes their viewpoint has majority support will steer their battles toward the legislatures where majorities rule.  But the abortion lobby has spent over 30 years doing whatever it takes to keep abortion out of the legislatures and in the courts.  Only people who know they can’t win in the legislatures would do that.  

Let’s also not forget that, in 1850, there was no consensus in America for outlawing slavery or allowing women to vote.  There was also a time when consensus was that the earth is flat.  In fact, world history is littered with examples where “consensus” simply meant that most of the fools were on one side.  Moreover, if consensus is what should drive abortion policy, that’s one more reason to overturn Roe.  In 1973, there certainly was no consensus for legalizing abortion on demand.
