It’s possible that might oversell the true opposition, at least to some extent. If you give people a choice between regular people enforcing the law and the law being enforced by, well, law enforcement, it’s perhaps not surprising the latter wins out. Perhaps that framing affected how people felt about the question on the $10,000 rewards. But it’s still 81 percent of Americans and two-thirds of Republicans who say they don’t like citizens being rewarded for blowing the whistle on breaking the abortion law. And that comes on top of their opposition to both the Texas law and outlawing abortion in most cases.
