A new poll has found that, when informed about details of the law, most adults support the Texas Heartbeat Act. The information is particularly important, as the Supreme Court hears oral arguments regarding the law today.
The Houston Chronicle reported that the poll , commissioned by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston and the Barbara Jordan-Mickey Leland School of Public Affairs at Texas Southern University, showed very drastic changes when respondents learned the specifics of the Texas law.
When respondents were specifically told that the Texas law involves abortion after a preborn child’s heartbeat can be detected, with the only exception being to save the mother’s life, the numbers showed significant support for the law: 55% of respondents said they supported the Texas Heartbeat Act, while 45% opposed it. Most demographics continued to show strong support for the law, including among whites (55%), Latinos (58%), men (59%), women (52%), Baby Boomers (65%), Gen X (55%), Independents (55%), and Republicans (74%). Half of Gen Z respondents supported the Texas Heartbeat Act, at an even 50%.
Before learning the specifics of the Heartbeat Act, however, 69% of respondents had originally claimed the Texas law was too restrictive, and 46% supported legal abortion in most or all cases immediately after six weeks, with 23% saying it should only be legal in cases of rape, incest, or when the mother’s life is at risk.
2,067 people were interviewed for the poll in October, with a potential margin of error of plus or minus 2.2.
Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University and one of the researchers for the poll, told the Houston Chronicle that this poll shows that media outrage over the Texas Heartbeat Act is not accurate.
“What we’re seeing is that it’s probably not as damaging an issue for Republicans as it’s sometimes portrayed,” he said. “There’s a group of Texans that wants to see an exception for rape and incest, but if they can’t get that, they still are going to support the legislation.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
