The polling indicates that significant numbers of Texans favor restrictions. But even among those who agree Roe should be overturned, there are divisions over details.
“You see Americans are conflicted still on how permissive abortion law should be here. But when you ask people specific questions, they make distinctions between times of pregnancy and reasons. And the vast majority of Americans would be kinda where most of Europe is, which is, you know, 12 weeks maximum,” Mary FioRito, an attorney and fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, said.

Greg Abbott in June. Doctors in the state who perform abortions after that would be subject to life in prison and at least $100,000 in fines.
