Most Americans have an unfavorable view of the Supreme Court’s consequential decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 landmark ruling that established the constitutional right to abortion, a new poll conducted by Pew Research Center found.
Roughly six-in-ten American adults disapproved of the ruling, with 43% saying they strongly disapproved, according to the poll released on June 29. The sentiment was largely split along political party lines, as most Democrats polled disapproved of the decision and most Republicans approved of it.
The court’s decision throws out federal abortion rights of nearly 50 years and gives states the power to decide their own abortion laws.
The topic of abortion has long divided the nation, but public opinion polling has shown that a majority of Americans support its legalization. Since the June 24 decision came down, that stance has remained unchanged, with 62% of the public saying abortion should be legal in all or most cases, according to the Pew Research Center.
