The state of public opinion

It appears I am to the right of most Americans on this matter.

Why it's difficult to gauge Americans' support for abortion rights

Every single recent poll indicates that Americans are more likely to be in favor of abortion rights than not. 

A Pew Research Center poll from late last year found that 58% of Americans say abortion should be always or mostly legal, compared with 37% who say it should be always or mostly illegal. 

This mostly lines up with 2018 Gallup polling that discovered that 60% of Americans think first trimester abortions should generally be legal and 64% don't want Roe, which guaranteed the right to an abortion in the first trimester, to be overturned.
