<\/div>

(Daily Signal<\/a>)\u00a0A new poll revealed that most Americans agree on certain abortion policies.<\/p>\n

The abortion-related nationwide poll<\/a> was commissioned from June 3-6 by The American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, an almost 50-year-old association with at least 7,000 members. The poll surveyed 1,600 registered voters.<\/p>\n

Here are three main takeaways from the poll results:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Transparency about post-abortion complications is necessary.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Seventy-nine percent of participants agreed data collection is important for women to understand the risks of abortion. Seven out of 10 pro-abortion voters agreed for women to understand the risks of abortion, accurate statistics of post-abortion complications are necessary. According to the Guttmacher Institute<\/a>, only 28 states are required to report on post-abortion complications.<\/p>\n

    \u201cWe know in the U.S. our data collection is really appalling. Not even every state has to report their abortions, much less their complications,\u201d Dr. Christina Francis, member of the board of the American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists, said.<\/p>\n

    \u201cYet, patients are being told these are safe procedures, that medication abortions are safe and effective,\u201d Francis said. \u201cThey\u2019re being told abortion is safer than childbirth, but this is all based on really inadequate data.\u201d<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Consensus for \u201ccommonsense provisions\u201d for women seeking abortions.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u201cSeventy-three percent of respondents agree that \u2018commonsense provisions are needed\u2019 when patients seek abortions\u2014examples given included in-person consultations and parental<\/a> consent for minors,\u201d according to the poll.<\/p>\n

      \u201cFor women to truly understand what is happening inside their body when they are pregnant<\/a>, part of that would be discussing those fetal development milestones,\u201d Francis said.<\/p>\n

      READ:\u00a0First trimester babies aren\u2019t blobs of tissue \u2014 they\u2019re amazingly complex<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

      Fetal<\/a> development milestones include unique DNA blueprint at moment of conception, a fetal heartbeat at six weeks, and eye movement, fingernails, and sucking their thumb at 12 weeks. In-person consultations and screenings would allow for the physician to check for ectopic pregnancy and provide education on post-abortion risks<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Abortion providers should meet the same standards of health care as any other medical provider.\u00a0<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u201cFor so long we have heard abortion is health care,\u201d says Francis. \u201cWell, then it needs to be treated as such.\u201d<\/p>\n

        More than 80% of poll participants across party lines agreed.<\/p>\n

        These standards would include requirements such as routine clinic inspections, hospital admitting privileges for patients, informed consent, and ultrasounds.<\/a><\/p>\n

        The American Association of Pro-life Obstetricians and Gynecologists disclosed findings this month in a memo sent out to its members following the overturning of Roe v. Wade.<\/p>\n
