Support for legal abortion rises, 40 years after Roe v. Wade
(MCT) — WASHINGTON — Forty years after the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision struck down laws forbidding abortions, support for a legal right to end a pregnancy has grown, according to new polls released this week.
The shift has come largely from increased support for legal abortion among Latinos and blacks, according to a new NBJ/Wall Street Journal survey. The survey for the first time found a majority of American supporting legal abortion in all or most cases.
