000 Archiveseffects of the overturning of Roe v. Wade, which shattered the precedent for both the right to privacy and abortion in the U.S., are still rippling months later. In addition to steering recent politics, it's also impacting interpersonal relationships — romantic and not.

In the latest Singles in Americasurvey, an annual study of over 5,000 single people in the country conducted by Match, these effects are evident. Over 75 percent — 78, to be exact — of singles of reproductive age said that the overturning of Roechanged their sex life. This is understandable, considering the increased risk of a sexual encounter, and it's especially true for young people.

Here's a breakdown of how it's specifically impacting daters:

These fears translate into a change of dating habits. Some people, 13 percent according to Match, said the SCOTUS decision made them more hesitant to date.

Two out of three single women will not date a partner who has opposing views of abortion. Some, however, are tired of talking about it: A quarter of single women want to have less discussion about abortion attitudes with partners. That doesn't account for everyone, though; 18 percent want to have morediscussion about abortion attitudes.

Whether someone wants to talk about abortion or not, apolitical views aren't wanted for about a third of people surveyed. Thirty-one percent of singles who said not having an opinion on key issues is a dealbreaker. For around the same number of singles, 31 percent, posting political views on social media is also a dealbreaker. These numbers are up from 16 percent and 11 percent in 2017 respectfully, an outcome of increasing political polarization

On the opposite side of the coin, 37 percent say that "having too strong an opinion is a dealbreaker."
