During a CNN debate, former President Donald Trump defended the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, claiming that 'everybody' wanted abortion policy to be returned to the states. Trump asserted that every legal scholar supported this move. However, multiple polls, including one from the Pew Research Center, indicate that approximately 63% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This contradicts Trump's claim, as a significant majority of Americans wished for Roe v. Wade to be preserved.

Former President Donald Trump says 'everyone' wanted abortion to be decided by the states. "That's the vote of the people."
BREAKING: Donald Trump just claimed EVERYBODY wanted to overturn Roe v. Wade. That’s a load of malarkey.
Trump’s claim “everybody” wanted Roe v. Wade overturned and abortion policy returned to states is nonsense. Poll after poll has shown that most Americans – 2/3rds or nearly 2/3rds of respondents in multiple polls – wish Roe would have been preserved.
