MINNEAPOLIS — Slightly more than half of Minnesotans oppose the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and think abortions should be legal in most or all cases, according to a new Star Tribune/MPR News/KARE-TV Minnesota Poll.
In the poll, 52% of respondents said they don't agree with the June ruling that overturned Roe, the landmark decision that provided constitutional protection for abortion for nearly 50 years. Forty percent of those polled said they support the court's decision, which kicked the debate over abortion access back to individual states, while 8% are undecided.
Women oppose the Supreme Court's ruling on Roe by a more than 20-point margin, while men were evenly split, according to the poll. Nonwhite respondents, those with a college degree and people living in Hennepin and Ramsey counties were most strongly opposed.
