6-week abortion ban in Iowa disapproved by 59% of Iowans, with support for legal abortion rising to 64%.

A recent Iowa Poll indicates that 59% of Iowans disapprove of the state's six-week abortion ban, enacted after the Roe v. Wade overturn. Support for legal abortion has risen to 64%, up from under 50% in 2020. The law includes exceptions for rape, incest, and the mother's life. Opposition is strong among various demographics, including 91% of Democrats and 88% of suburban women. Republicans defend the ban as a life-protecting measure, while Democrats see potential electoral gains from the discontent.
