Abortion Rights Take Center Stage in Midterm Elections

In the lead-up to the November midterm elections, a Quinnipiac University poll reveals a growing support for abortion rights in the United States. A record 66% of Americans now favor legal abortion in some or all cases, with 34% believing it should be legal in all cases and 32% in most cases. Support for a complete ban on abortion has dropped to a historic low of 5%, while strong majorities support legality in cases involving the mother’s life or rape/incest. Democrats are leveraging this issue in their campaigns, warning of potential nationwide restrictions under Republican control. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump has pledged to leave abortion decisions to individual states, drawing criticism from pro-life groups.
