A new poll by Post-ABC shows that by a near 2-1 margin Americans want to see Roe upheld.

A similar margin shows that the country opposed the Texas law banning abortions after six weeks.

Context: Americans have widely opposed access to abortion after the first trimester. However, with challenges to long-standing precedent coming before the Supreme Court the new poll suggests that Americans widely oppose the new restriction on access.

Why this is important: The Supreme Court has a 6-3 conservative majority that will review Mississippi’s prohibition on abortion after 15 weeks. The current standard is when a baby could survive outside of the womb Around 22-24 weeks.
