Supporters of Abortion Rights Struggle to Gain Marchers and Momentum

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

54% : On Monday, thousands gathered outside the Pennsylvania State Capitol in Harrisburg urging the passage of anti-abortion legislation.
39% : The coronavirus pandemic; a sense of political fatigue after a divisive election; other issues that seem more pressing than abortion, such as racial justice or transgender rights.
38% : In interviews and polling, voters who believe abortion should remain legal say they worry about the future of abortion rights and say restrictions, such as a new law in Texas banning abortions after about six weeks, make them more likely to vote in the midterm elections.
34% : The Supreme Court is preparing to take up an abortion case -- the first to be argued before the court with all three of Mr. Trump's conservative appointees -- that has the potential to remove federal protection for abortion altogether.
