Police officers stand in front of members of the Patriot Front as they march with anti-abortion activists during the 49th annual March for Life rally on January 21, 2022 in Washington, DC.Most Americans oppose overturning the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade precedent, according to a new CNN Poll conducted by SSRS, with a majority saying that if the decision was vacated, they’d want to see their own state move toward more permissive abortion laws.
Saturday marks the 49th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s Roe vs. Wade decision, which established the constitutional right to an abortion, at least in the first three months of pregnancy. Six in 10 Americans, including 68% of women, say they personally know someone who’s had an abortion. Expectations break the other way, though. Nearly one-quarter of Americans, 23%, say they think it’s likely that abortions would be completely banned in their area if Roe were overturned, with 32% predicting that abortions would become harder to get, and 14% that there wouldn’t be a change in the availability of abortions. Another 30% aren’t sure how their area might be affected.
