Yes, I've seen something fairly similar for Abortion and the percentages by age don't really go in one direction or another. From what I understand, other than the women who were in child bearing years when RvW was decided who tend toward supporting it more than other age groups, there isn't a significant amount of difference by age or gender. I think you still don't have a majority on either end of the spectrum if you take just those born since RvW.

If you look at the image I posted, it supports that.
And the thing about abortion rights is that once it's legal it's harder to get "support" for rights unless they're threatened, meanwhile it's really easy to wage war against it. That's purely on political grounds.
