            Support for legal abortion has risen since Supreme Court eliminated
            protections, AP-NORC poll finds

            Associated Press
            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,
