About half of registered voters in Texas oppose abortion restrictions that will become state law later this year, according to the results of a poll released this week by hobbyschooluh.
The law makes it a second-degree felony “for a person who knowingly performs, induces, or attempts an abortion” according to the bill analysis. The penalty increases to a first-degree infraction “if the unborn child dies as a result of the offense.”
“The divide followed partisan lines, 80% of respondents who identify as Democrats oppose the new restrictions, with 76% strongly opposing. And 76% who identify as Republicans support the new restrictions, with 44% strongly supporting,” Mark P. Jones, the senior research associate at the UH Hobby School, said in a statement.
“The preferred policy of 10% of the population is that abortion never be permitted [and] of 13% that abortion only be permitted if the woman’s life is in danger ,” the study notes.
