CBS News poll: 2 years after Roe’s overturn, majorities have concerns about more risk to pregnant women

Two years after the Dobbs decision overturning the federal right to an *********, its impact is being felt beyond the matter of whether ********* should be legal or not. There is a widespread view nationwide that pregnant women may be more at risk and reproductive care more difficult to access in states that have passed new restrictions on ********* since Roe v. Wade was overturned. 

Majorities across gender, age, and ******* groups express concern, with women and younger people particularly so. 

These concerns find far more resonance with Democrats than Republicans, but four in 10 Republicans are concerned about pregnant women being more at risk in states where ********* is mostly ********. 

So how will all of this factor into the presidential election? 

President Biden leads former President Donald Trump substantially among voters who say the issue of ********* will be a major factor in their vote, but the former president leads among voters who prioritize the economy and inflation — and there are more of those voters. So, right now, Mr. Biden’s lead on the issue keeps him running about even with Trump overall. 

And the Republicans who express concern about more risk to pregnant women are still voting for Trump over Biden in big numbers. 

It’s not just those living in mostly Democratic-led states who have concerns about the impact of more restrictive measures that some states have put in place. It’s been largely ***********-led

on ********* access, and majorities living in those states are concerned.

These concerns are related to overall views on the legality of *********. People who think ********* should be mostly legal express more concern than those who think ********* should be mostly ********. 

Two years after the Dobbs decision, most Americans continue to favor ********* being legal in all or most cases. 

********* and the presidential campaign

********* does not rank as high in voters’ minds as issues like the economy, the border and democracy. 

As we saw in the 2022 midterm elections, it is a more important issue for Democrats than Republicans, women more than men, and younger voters more than older voters. 

And while these groups are backing Biden over Trump, they are not as likely to say they will definitely vote as groups such as Republicans and older voters who are backing Trump. 

On ********* access: what do voters think they will get?

The Biden campaign may have some work to do getting out its message on *********. In his State of the Union address this year, President Biden pledged to restore Roe v. Wade as the law of the land.

Only about half of registered voters think he will try to pass a law legalizing ********* nationwide, and that number isn’t any higher among those who support the legality of *********. 

And voters overall are more apt to think Trump will leave ********* laws for the states to decide, rather than try and pass a nationwide ban. Fewer than half of voters who are in favor of ********* being legal think Trump will try and make ********* ******** nationwide — something the Biden campaign has said Trump will attempt to do.

Currently, most Republicans say if Trump wins, he will leave the matter of ********* to the states.
