WSJ surveyed 1,500 voters from March 2-7. The results found that 48% would either "strongly" or "somewhat" favor a law banning abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy with exemptions to protect the life of the mother. 43% of voters were opposed.
This is welcome news for the pro-life movement, as polling regularly shows voters lean toward pro-life stances.
The Supreme Court is scheduled to rule on Mississippi's 15-week abortion ban in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. That ruling should come before the end of the Court's current term (June 2022).
Aside from Mississippi, Arizona and Louisiana have also enacted 15-week bans. Florida and Kentucky have similar bills pending the approval of their governors. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is expected to sign his state's bill, while the Kentucky legislature is primed to override an expected veto by pro-abortion Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear (D).
