Majority of home buyers and sellers want to live in a state with legal abortion, Redfin survey shows
According to a new survey from Redfin, 52% of the Americans they talked with said they would either “only” live in such a state, or “prefer” to live in such a state. The remaining percentage said they didn’t value the issue or wouldn’t want to live in a state where abortion is fully legal.
That survey was conducted in August 2022, after the United States Supreme Court released an opinion in June that overturned Roe v. Wade, the landmark abortion ruling from 1973. In the wake of the Supreme Court’s ruling, states now have legislative power to ban or restrict abortions, and at least 23 states have laws or policies that regulate abortion providers.
