Today, Gallup released the results of its annual survey on abortion. Overall, the news is good for pro-lifers. A range of survey questions indicate that there was actually a slight increase in pro-life sentiment in 2025.
Overall, 43 percent of respondents identified as “pro-life,” a two percentage point gain from last year’s Gallup survey. There were also small gains in the percentage of people who thought abortion was “morally wrong” and the percentage of people who thought abortion should either be “illegal” or “legal in only a few circumstances.”
Most of the media coverage of this most recent Gallup poll has focused on a growing gender gap in abortion attitudes. From the mid-1990s into the late 2010s, most Gallup surveys found that men and women had fairly similar attitudes on abortion. As recently as 2019, men were actually more likely than women to identify as “pro-choice.” However, this most recent survey showed that 61 percent of women identified as “pro-choice” as opposed to only 41 percent of men — a 20 percentage point gender gap.
