Dobbs Decision Worsens Abortion Access and Women's Health, Survey Shows.

After the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, many Americans, including women, young people, and Democrats, are reporting more liberal views on abortion than major pollsters have seen in years. Even conservatives, although the changes are slight, are increasingly supportive of abortion rights. Americans are more open to the idea of unrestricted third-trimester abortion than they were even a year ago. There are indications that abortion has the potential to be a major motivator for some Americans when they go to vote in 2024. Republican politicians have mostly doubled down on abortion restrictions despite backlash in swing states during the 2022 midterms, but no subgroup in Gallup's data has become notably more conservative on first-trimester abortion since Dobbs.
