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.”
