Laura Ingraham probably thought she made a clever quip prior to Wednesday’s Republican debate. But as it turns out, her little shot at Democrats was an incredible self-own.Before the festivities began, Ingraham remarked the Democrats’ party platform consists of “pot, porn, [and] Planned Parenthood.” If that’s the case, sign us up!Ingraham: Ok, here’s what the Democrats’ platform is, ready? Pot, porn, Planned Parenthood pic.twitter.com/iOmSFXEzS5I’d wear the t-shirtNarrator: That isn’t the Democrats platform, but if it were, I’d be behind it.Don’t threaten me with a good country!Yes I love it when they threaten us with a good time.it cannot be overestimated how lucky democrats are that republicans are this out of touch with americans lol https://t.co/dqymSoBclJIn all seriousness, those three pillars–marijuana legalization, access to pornographic and pro-choice policies–are all very popular among the American people.
The data shows it.Ever since the Supreme Court overturned Roe, Americans’ support for legal abortion continues to climb. A record 69% of Americans say abortion should be legal in the first three months of pregnancy, and the prior high was 67%, which was recorded shortly after the Supreme Court’s controversial decision.
While support for abortion drops later in pregnancy (37% say it should be legal in the second three months of pregnancy and 22% in the last three months of pregnancy), those numbers are still the highest Gallup has found in trends since 1996. The numbers are even greater when it comes to marijuana legalization.
A majority of U.S. adults (59%) say pot should be legal for recreational and medical use, while 30% say it should be legal for medical use only.
