Majority of Americans Support Abortion Access, New Poll Reveals

Abortion Access Gets Broad Support from Americans, Poll Shows

Despite the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade nearly two years ago, a majority of Americans continue to support access to abortion.

A recent Pew Research Center survey of 8,709 adults reveals that approximately 6 in 10 Americans believe abortion should be legal in most or all cases, marking a 4 percentage point increase since 2021. This trend suggests a growing commitment to reproductive rights among Americans.

Pew Research Center Survey: Majority of Americans Want Abortion Access

The survey highlights a stark political divide on the issue, with 85% of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents supporting legal abortion in most or all cases, compared to just over 40% of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents.

However, there has been a steady increase in support for abortion access across both political aisles over the years. As seen, 54% of Americans believe the decision to have an abortion belongs solely to the pregnant woman, while 35% agree that human life begins at conception and embryos have rights.

Interestingly, 32% of Americans identify with both statements, indicating a nuanced understanding of the issue. Regardless of political affiliation, about 6 in 10 Americans believe accessing abortion services in their area would be at least somewhat easy, while 4 in 10 anticipate difficulties.
