    How the question is asked isn’t stated as far as I can tell. There are a LARGE number of the “R”s who don’t want it left up to the states because they want a national ban. Until that information is made clear as to how they controlled for that variable, this is junk.

      The KFF survey is linked in the article:

      Opinions on Abortion Policy

      Three in four (75%) women of reproductive age in the United States, the age group that is most directly impacted by state abortion policies, think that abortion should be legal in most or all cases—38% say legal in all cases and 37% legal in most cases.

      Seven in ten reproductive age women (70%) support a law guaranteeing a federal right to abortion, with half (50%) saying they strongly support this

      The majority of women don’t want the issue left to the states, specifically because they want a federal law securing the right to an abortion.
