"Anti-abortion groups and particularly anti-abortion politicians in Congress know that a direct national abortion ban is deeply deeply unpopular. Instead what they're trying to do is restrict access by a thousand cuts."
"Polling has consistently shown that close to two-thirds of Americans believe abortion should be legal in most or all circumstances. Women, in particular, support abortion rights."
"A poll from last summer by KFF... found that most women between the ages of 18 and 49 - including almost half of all Republican women - oppose national laws banning abortion."
"The influential anti-abortion group SBA Pro-Life America called the spending bill that bans Planned Parenthood from receiving federal Medicaid funds for a year 'the greatest pro-life victory' since the end of Roe v. Wade."
The spending bill signed by President Trump bans Planned Parenthood from receiving federal Medicaid funds for a year, described as a significant pro-life victory. Anti-abortion groups, facing unpopularity in pursuing a national abortion ban, are instead focusing on more incremental approaches. These include cutting funding and imposing restrictions on abortion medication availability. Polls indicate that a majority of Americans, particularly women, support the legality of abortion, while many oppose strict national abortion laws. This societal stance complicates direct legislative efforts against access to abortion services.
