Nearly a third of registered voters said if a state banned abortion, that would make it a less desirable place to live, according to a new poll.

Six in 10 voters told the USA Today-Suffolk University poll that a state-issued abortion ban wouldn’t affect the desirability of where they live, though 31% said it would have a negative impact and 5% said it would make the state a more attractive place to reside.

The poll found that 61% of people oppose overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 Supreme Court ruling granting a national right to abortion, 28% support overturning it and 11% are undecided.
