Add Pennsylvania to the states now lost to Republicans over
Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2023 3:24 pmThirty-eight percent of Pennsylvania voters said abortion should be legal in all circumstances, while an additional 48 percent said it should be legal in certain cases, according to a poll conducted this month by Franklin & Marshall College. Only 13 percent said it should be illegal in all circumstances.
Nationally, it is about the same.
Record-high 69% think first-trimester abortions should be legal
Near record-high 34% say abortion should be legal in all cases
Parties are more polarized than ever over abortion legality.
Gallup’s oldest trend on the legality of abortion finds 34% of Americans believe abortion should be legal under any circumstances, nearly matching last year’s record-high 35% and above the 27% average since 1975. Another 51% currently say abortion should be legal under certain circumstances, while 13% (similar to the all-time low of 12%) want it illegal in all circumstances.
Fifty-two percent of Americans say abortion is morally acceptable, matching last year’s all-time high. This is 10 percentage points above the historical average since 2001.
