WASHINGTON DC — For the first time, abortion is one of the top five issues of concern for Latino voters heading into the ballot box this election cycle, according to new results of a national poll conducted by Unidos US and Mi Famila Vota.

Quote attributable to Alejandra Soto, Director of Latino Communications, Planned Parenthood Action Fund:

“We know that Latino voters in key states, and across the country, support access to safe, legal abortion and want to be able to make their own health care decisions without political interference. Latino communities face disproportionate barriers to care due to centuries of systemic discrimination and, with abortion bans already in 16 states,  these barriers are only getting worse with the overturning of Roe v Wade. It’s not surprising that the latest polling by leading Latino organizations tells us that for the first time, abortion will be one of the top five issues Latino voters will have in mind during midterm elections. More than 70 percent of respondents support legal abortion, independently of their own personal beliefs, in states such as Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Everyone — no matter where you live or how much money you make — deserves access to essential health care, free of barriers or political roadblocks.”

Additional coverage from the past week: 

Additional polling research: 

  • Research shows abortion bans and restrictions are deeply unpopular: 
  • Polling has also shown that the majority of Latino voters nationwide support abortion rights and access. It isn’t about whether one believes or doesn’t believe in abortion, but whether politicians should be making medical, personal decisions for us and our families.
