By: E&P Staff With the fight over a new nominee to the U.S. Supreme Court still running hot, a new USAToday/CNN/Gallup poll re-affirms that most Americans oppose severe cutbacks in abortion rights.
It found 61% of those questioned were opposed to a constitutional amendment to ban abortion. Thirty-seven percent were in favor of an amendment to ban abortions, except when the life of the mother was at stake.
More than three-fourths of the respondents feel that abortion should be legal in varying circumstances. Thirty-nine percent of the respondents said that abortion should only be legal in a few circumstances.
But roughly two-thirds of the people supported parental and spousal notification.
A New Hampshire law requiring parental notification comes before the Supreme Court this week as it hears the first major abortion cases in five years.
