Support for legal abortion has risen since Supreme Court eliminated
protections, AP-NORC poll finds
By CHRISTINE FERNANDO and AMELIA
THOMSON-DEVEAUX

WASHINGTON (AP) — A solid majority of
Americans oppose a federal abortion
ban as a rising number support access to
abortions for any reason, a new poll finds,
highlighting a politically perilous situation
for candidates who oppose abortion
rights as the November election draws
closer.
Around 6 in 10 Americans think their state
should generally allow a person to ob-
tain a legal abortion if they don't want to
be pregnant for any reason, according
to a new poll from The Associated Press-
NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
That's an increase from June 2021, a year
before the Supreme Court overturned
the constitutional right to the procedure,
when about half of Americans thought
legal abortion should be possible under
these circumstances.
Americans are largely opposed to the
strict bans that have taken effect in Re-
publican-controlled states since the high Dr. Paul Isaacson speaks as Arizona abortion-rights supporters gather for a news conference prior to delivering over
court's ruling two years ago. 800,000 petition signatures to the capitol to get abortion rights on the November general election ballot Wednesday,
July 3, 2024, in Phoenix.
