Majority want Supreme Court nominee to uphold Roe v. Wade
WASHINGTON A majority of Americans in a new Associated Press poll say President Bush's next Supreme Court nominee should be willing to uphold abortion rights.
Nearly six in ten people say the nominee should back the 1973 Roe versus Wade decision that legalized abortion. And about the same number of people feel the nominee should give his or her position on abortion before being approved for the job.
A majority of Republicans, evangelicals and people over 65 say they want a nominee who would overturn the decision.
