Abortion Rights and Voter Priorities
Democrats are increasingly prioritizing abortion rights in elections since the Dobbs verdict, with a record-high percentage saying they will only vote for candidates who share their views on abortion. Pro-choice voters show more intensity on the issue compared to pro-life voters. Support for abortion rights remains high, and Americans are more accepting of the morality of abortion. The availability of the abortion pill, mifepristone, as a prescription drug is favored by a majority of adults. The shift towards support for abortion rights has mainly occurred within the Democratic Party.
