Third, "mostly legal" or "mostly illegal" probably means any of a thousand different things, depending on who you are asking. In fact, I'd bet that some "mostly legal" people would give you the same set of legal circumstances as some "mostly illegal" person, so that their only difference is the definition of "mostly". The one thing it definitely says though is that 79% (of a group skewed 5/4 by women) agree that it should not be always legal.

It does also say that 81% agree that it should not be always illegal.
I think BRC's interpretation of what "mostly legal" and "mostly illegal" means is much more likely correct than yours. Only a federalist would be thinking in terms of state by state rather than situation by situation in answering a question like that.
And the people I know who are in the "always illegal" or "mostly illegal" camps are definitely thinking in terms of everywhere in the US, not just in certain states. Ditto for the "always legal" and "mostly legal" folks I know.
But you were so busy exchanging insults with Sebby that you didn't answer his very interesting question: Do you really think the GOP power structure really wants to overturn Roe? Does Bush really want to?
ETA: I am in the personally uncomfortable position of believing abortion is morally wrong but not in favor of overturning Roe.
