A new Harvard CAPS/Harris poll offers some interesting—and, for pro-lifers, I think encouraging—data on how Americans view Dobbs and abortion policy, even as it also shows how surprisingly inept pollsters can be at asking questions on abortion.
1. On the question “Do you think your state should allow abortion [up to when]?” (p. 41), 37% say “Only in cases of rape and incest,” 12% say “Up to six weeks,” and 23% say “Up to 15 weeks.”
In short, after 50 years of pervasive pro-abortion propaganda in our culture and amidst the huge media outcry over the overturning of Roe, it would appear that a full 72% of Americans would like abortion to be banned at no later than 15 weeks and that 49% would like it to be banned at no later than 6 weeks. (To be sure, the poll presents only five options, so it’s unclear which option someone who, say, wants abortion to be legal for up to 10 weeks would pick.)
So much for the Democrat effort to enact the radical Women’s Health Abortion Act, which (among other things) would make abortion legal throughout the entirety of pregnancy—a result supported by only 10% of those polled.
