On June 24, 2022, the United States Supreme Court announced its decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that protected the right to an abortion. A survey conducted shortly after found that approval for the decision was highest amongst those over the age of 65, and lowest among those ages 18 to 29. Across all age groups, a higher share of respondents disapprove of the decision than approve of it.
