US support for abortion rights up four points to 60% since fall of Roe v Wade

New polling data from Pew shows shift in Americans' opinion since loss of constitutional right to abortion in June 2022

In the two years after the US supreme court overturned Roe v Wade, leading to abortion bans across many parts of the south and midwest, abortion rights have only grown more popular, new polling from Pew research Center has found.

A majority of Americans has long supported abortion rights. But more than 60% of Americans now believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases - a four percentage-point jump from 2021, the year before Roe fell.
