I am pretty suspicious of polls on abortion simply because people in a given community know what they're supposed to say but don't have to actually vote that way. That was a lesson I learned from Trump's election, and the results in places like Kansas and Michigan seem to support that theory. It's why I supported overturning Roe - in most places we're heading toward a sane middle ground, with extremes in typical places like CA and Mississippi.

But regardless of what FL does, it's been returned to the state legislative process, where it should have been all along. The 60's and 70's saw pretty heavy-handed Supreme Court overreach as they extended the philosophy of the Civil Rights Act to conflicts that were not equivalents to the legacy of slavery.
