Three years after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision allowing states to ban abortion, a new AP-NORC poll reveals that most American adults still support legalized abortion. About 64% of respondents believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases, indicating consistent public opinion.
The June 2022 ruling overturning Roe v. Wade has led states to take varied approaches. Twelve states have implemented complete bans, while others enforce restrictions after six weeks. However, support for legalized abortion in specific scenarios—such as medical emergencies or fetal abnormalities—remains strong across the country.
Despite political divisions, particularly between Democrats and Republicans, the debate over abortion rights highlights concerns about women’s health and legal access to services. The poll also shows nuanced support for interstate abortion access and the legal protection of healthcare providers involved in abortion services.
