We don t want women to die in childbirth, Kathryn Garcia, who is running for mayor of New York, told me on March 30. The former head of sanitation in the city, she just got a surprise New York Times endorsement, raising her stature in the race to succeed Bill De Blasio.
I encountered her when she was giving remarks outside Manhattan s flagship Planned Parenthood in lower Manhattan. When I asked why she would choose an abortion clinic to talk about such a unifying issue as maternal health care, she repeated a few times that she is for a woman s right to choose. She also insisted that Planned Parenthood provides an enormous number of other services.

Like the Knights of Columbus/Marist poll that was released this past January and the CBS News and Gallup polls which each came out in 2020, it shows that public attitudes on the issue of abortion have remained relatively stable during the pandemic. Overall, the poll shows that 39 percent of Americans think that abortion should be illegal in “all or most cases.” This is a one percentage point gain from a survey that Pew conducted during January and February 2020.
