The one that listed the options, pro-choice and pro-life? Yeah, that was trash and you know it.

Nah, here's one:

6. Would you like to see the United States Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade?

Yes 36%
No 54%

I don't think that most Americans know exactly what the Supreme Court actually decided in Roe.

Hardly the point.  Most Americans support the decision, based upon their knowledge of the situation.

Which tells you nothing about how pro-life or pro-choice the state is, in order to contrast it with the legislature.

So what would be the magical question to ask to figure out how 'pro-life' or 'pro-choice' the state is?

Asking about specific bans on abortion. You know, like I said five minutes ago.

I don't know of any such polls that have been done.

But most likely the majority would support legal abortions in the first trimester and later-term abortion bans.

Another thing the Supreme Court could potentially do is hand out a ruling that is the inverse of Roe v. Wade; that is, rule all state laws that allow abortions unconstitutional by deeming them murder.

Legalizing murder is not unconstitutional. As long as the murder is being committed by private parties, without the involvement of the state, no constitutional problem arises.

Yes, by your interpretation.  The SCOTUS' interpretation might be very different based on their personal feelings on the issue.

Also, I doubt any of the current SC justices would deem murder as a constitutional act.
