Nearly three-quarters of all Americans back legal access to medication abortion, according to a new poll released this weekend, reaffirming that the pro-abortion side is winning the debate over reproductive rights.
Seventy-two percent of those surveyed support women using the abortion pill to end a pregnancy if prescribed in person by a doctor, including more than 90% of Democrats and a majority of Republicans.
Political independents strongly support unfettered access to abortion medication, underlying the increasing political peril Republicans face over their wide-ranging pro-life stance.
The poll was conducted this week as the Supreme Court considered overturning a ruling by a right-wing federal judge in Texas that would ban mifepristone, a drug used in about 60% of all abortions in the U.S.
