As the country approaches the 40th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, a poll released Wednesday from Pew Research Center indicated that 63 percent of Americans do not want the landmark Supreme Court ruling on abortion rights reversed. 

Only 29 percent support an overturn of Roe, but the country is divided when it comes to the morality of abortion. Forty-seven said that having an abortion is morally wrong, compared with 13 percent who said the procedure is morally acceptable. But 27 percent said that abortion is not a moral issue and nine percent indicated that it depends on the situation.
