Increasing Number of States Passing Legislation Limiting Abortion Ahead of Supreme Court Ruling in Pivotal Dobbs Case

A recent Wall Street Journal poll found that more American voters support a ban on abortion after 15 weeks than oppose it.

“With lawmakers in several states pushing forward with bills that would ban abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy, 48% of voters said they would strongly or somewhat favor such restrictions, with exemptions to protect the life of the mother, while 43% were in opposition,” the poll, released Friday, found.

As the country awaits the Supreme Court’s decision in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, an increasing number of states are passing legislation limiting abortion.
