Here is what the Bulwark had to say about the Iowa poll. It doesn't add immensely to what The Daily Iowan offered, but it fleshes out the demographics some. What amused me was their level of excitement. Sarah Longwell was participating from a stairwell at her sister's baby shower. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTU0ZWFNmzs

The demographics here are so significant: White women over 70 viscerally remember the pre-Roe days. I volunteered in a free clinic in the early 70's that made arrangements and provided bus fare for pregnant women to get to New York where abortion was legal, from Michigan where it was not. I remember their fear and angst like it was yesterday. Over the 5 decades since? No way in hell are we going back.

I seriously think that the Dobbs decision had the effect of hurrying Jurate's departure. As one of the Friends of Jane in Chicago when she was in college, she really took it hard when she heard the news.
