News: Supreme Court exterior
(77WABC) — More than two-thirds of Americans want to uphold Roe v. Wade, according to a new Wall Street Journal poll.
68% of respondents said they would not like to see the court completely overturn Roe, while 30% said they support that move. The poll was taken after the leak of a draft opinion that suggests the Supreme Court might be preparing to overturn the 1973 decision that established the constitutional right to an abortion.
The poll found abortion support wanes based on the length of a pregnancy. The poll found 34% of respondents favored abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. 43% were in opposition and 21% said they neither supported nor opposed such a move.
