US EditionMost US Adults Still Support Legal Abortion 3 Years After Roe Was Overturned, an AP-NORC Poll Finds
UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – An AP-NORC poll shows 64% of U.S. adults support legal abortion in most or all cases, reflecting stable majority opinion three years after Roe v. Wade was overturned.
- A recent AP-NORC survey conducted from July 10 to 14, 2024, reveals that approximately 66% of American adults support legal access to abortion in most or all circumstances across the country.
- In June 2022, the Supreme Court issued a decision that removed federal protections for abortion rights, prompting many states to implement abortion restrictions at various pregnancy stages, including six weeks of gestation.
- Support remains strong for abortion access in medical emergencies, with about 7 in 10 adults favoring protections for miscarriages and pregnancy-related emergencies, while opinions vary on interstate abortion access protections.
- The poll sampled 1,437 adults representing the U.S. population with a margin of error of ±3.6 points; support is nearly 90% among Democrats but around 40% among Republicans, and some individuals report personal impact from restrictive laws.
- The poll’s findings suggest abortion views have remained similar to pre-ruling levels, but state bans have caused legal and personal challenges, including arrests after miscarriages and travel burdens for patients.
