As one of the 21% who support abortion I think this statement is a little cavalier. The numbers tell more than one story.

It's not saying that 79% of men are abortion opponents.

It's saying that 79% of abortion opponents are men.

Those two statements are very different.

Oh yeah I read it wrong. Nevertheless, the point is that this one statistic doesn't tell a whole story.

Here's a pew research thing finding about 61% of men supporting abortion in the US in 2024; lagging behind women at 64% but not by much

Nice. Research shows 5 out of 4 polls are misleading.

Well, one is a poll, one is a meme with no data source or explanation of what's been done to get to the possibly not very correct number

And pew research is one the the least biased sources someone could reference
