Strong majorities of Americans oppose laws banning medication abortion, disagree with judges overturning Food and Drug Administration approval of prescription drugs, don't have much confidence in the Supreme Court and don't think justices should serve lifetime appointments, according to the latest NPR/PBS NewsHour/Marist poll released Monday.
The findings come as the Supreme Court left in place — for now — access to the drug mifepristone, which is used in early-stage abortions. That's unlikely to be the final word on the drug, as challenges relating to it are expected to again come before the high court, possibly as early as some time next year — right in the middle of a presidential election.
