Pew Report – “Nearly four years after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, a majority of Americans continue to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Now, with a patchwork of differing state laws in effect, perceptions of abortion access vary by where people live.

A 60% majority of U.S. adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This share is down slightly from the last few years – when attention to the issue was heightened after the high court’s Dobbs decision.

About half (51%) say it would be easy to get an abortion in the area where they live, while slightly fewer (45%) say it would be difficult. In recent years, the public has become more likely to say obtaining an abortion in their area would be difficult.

Roughly a third (32%) say it should be easier to get an abortion where they live, 27% say it should be harder and 38% say it should be about what it is now…

While majorities across most demographic and religious groups say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, there are exceptions. Roughly three-quarters of White evangelical Christians (74%) say it should be illegal in all or most cases. A majority of Republicans (63%) also hold this view.

There are also differences between men and women, younger and older adults, and people of different education levels and political ideologies.
