Abortion access has dropped, but US support has not

More than 6 in 10 say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while about a third say that it should be illegal in all or most cases. This divide has changed little over the past few decades, Pew data shows.Most adults nationwide say that it would still be easy to get an abortion where they live, but that has dropped significantly over the past four years — especially in states where abortions are currently banned.Now, more than 70% of adults in states where abortion is prohibited say that it would be difficult to get one in their area, up from 50% in 2019.
