Majority of Americans consider themselves “pro-life”

A new poll released by Gallup has found that 51% of Americans consider themselves “pro-life.” The same poll found only 42% of Americans consider themselves “pro-choice.”

In the last year, the number of people calling themselves “pro-life” has risen 7% while the number of people calling themselves “pro-choice” has dropped 8%.

The poll also found that 60% of Americans believe abortion should either be “illegal in all circumstances” (23%) or “legal only in a few circumstances” (37%).

Men and women were both more likely to be “pro-life” than “pro-choice.” According to the poll, 49% of women and 54% of men consider themselves “prolife” while only 44% of women and 39% of men consider themselves “pro-choice.”
