Most Americans want strict limits on when women may obtain abortions, according to a new poll conducted by The Trafalgar Group days after a leaked draft majority opinion indicated the Supreme Court was poised to strike down Roe v. Wade.
The poll results come as Americans await the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization. The draft first reported on May 2 indicates the court will use the Mississippi case to strike down Roe v. Wade, the seminal 1973 precedent that swept away state laws and made abortion legal across the country. The members of the Supreme Court are scheduled to meet for their weekly conference on May 19, but it’s unclear when the Dobbs ruling will be formally released.
