Don't understand your question. Whose acceptance?

Tell me what you think would occur if Roe is overturned. What's your guess of how many States will continue to allow Abortions?

Then count their electoral votes.

In 1989, a wave of polls concerning abortion took place. In a Newsweek poll (July 17, 1989) 74% voted to require parental consent for minors seeking abortion, and 88% supported mandatory counseling for women considering an abortion. In a Los Angeles Times survey, 61% considered abortion immoral, and 57% thought of it as murder.
Boston Globe (March 31), New York Times (January 22), Los Angeles Times (March 19), and Newsweek (April 24) conducted polls asking under what circumstances abortion should remain legal. The average results are:
Life/Health of Mother........................................90%
Rape/Incest..................................................75%
Fetal Handicap...............................................65%
Can't Afford.................................................40%
Too Many Children............................................40%
Emotional Strain.............................................35%
To Finish School.............................................28%
Not Married..................................................25%
As Birth Control.............................................16%
Sex Selection.................................................2%

Obviously, that's an old poll. I invite you to show other polls that specifically mention different reasons for abortions.
