How do people feel about what's happened in the year since the landmark abortion law Roe v. Wade was overturned? A CBS News poll found that most say Roe's overturn has been bad for the country.
/ CBS NewsWhen Roe v. Wade was struck down a year ago, most Americans disapproved, and today, most feel that decision turned out to be a bad thing for the country generally, because they feel an increased threat to women's health and rights. Half tell CBS News that abortion access in the U.S. has become more restricted over the past year than they expected.
Majorities on each side of the Roe debate cite"states are making abortion access harder" as a reason for their views, indicating that states' actions can be either a negative and a positive, depending on how you feel about Roe's overturn. A year after Roe's overturn, many women see challenges and obstacles for women related to reproductive health.
More broadly, by three to one, women overall see the overturn of Roe as a step backward, not forward, for women's rights. The Dobbs decision sent the legality of the abortion issue to the states, and people's views about abortion access in their state is related to where they live. , 51% say abortion in their state is now more restricted than they would like it to be — 30 points higher than women who live in states with what are considered less restrictive policies.
