By a more-than-2-to-1 margin, most Americans (51%) now say the Supreme Court “should prevent any changes” to the availability of the abortion pill mifepristone “by reversing the Texas ruling” that ordered the FDA to ban the medication nationwide.
Demonstrators rally in support of abortion rights at the Supreme Court on April 15.
Among registered voters, meanwhile, the gap is even larger, with a full 57% saying the court should reverse the Texas ruling and a mere 21% saying the opposite. On April 7, a Texas judge issued a preliminary ruling that the Food and Drug Administration must suspend its 23-year-old approval of mifepristone.
Yet even this partial rollback is unpopular with Americans, a clear majority of whom say abortion-inducing pills should continue to be legal rather than illegal to prescribe. By a margin of 18 percentage points, Americans also say mifepristone should be legal rather than illegal “during the first 10 weeks of pregnancy” and “when prescribed by some certified health providers other than doctors, such as family planning clinics.
But what may be more notable — particularly as the 2024 election approaches and pundits try to predict how the abortion debate will affect the vote — is the persistent intensity gap between those who support abortion rights and those who oppose such rights.
