Polling shows overturning Roe shakes up midterms for shocked voters

The Supreme Court’s recent ruling against reproductive rights in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization — overturning the 50-year precedent of Roe v. Wade — is bad news for the Republican Party and for the conservative majority on the high court.

For every action, there is a reaction. The court’s revocation of a constitutional right that women have had for half a century sent shockwaves through the system.

A national poll conducted after the official release of the decision for The PBS News Hour and National Public Radio by Marist University demonstrated the degree of damage to the court and the GOP. Most Americans disapprove of the high court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Almost half of the public strongly disapproves of the verdict.

The public hostility to the ruling has put a dent in GOP prospects for the midterms.

"I stand with planned patenthood" sign out to radio commenters alluding to "we are under stress due to recent events" to person after person mentioning loss of rights in unrelated social media threads.

What is most notable is shock by younger women who have never lived with abortion bans

They seem to have unlimited power AND they can uphold more rulings that would allow crazy ass shit to happen in the states for counting votes with no oversight.
