(National Review<\/a>) [On July 24th], the Associated Press and the NORC Center for Public Affairs Research released the results of a poll<\/a> of over 1,400 adults in mid-July. The findings contain good news for pro-lifers.<\/p>\n

The results indicate that the percentage of adults who think abortion should be illegal in \u201call cases\u201d or \u201cmost cases\u201d increased by seven percentage points since June 2024. Overall, this AP\/NORC poll reports the highest level of pro-life sentiment since the leak of the Dobbs<\/em> decision in May 2022. This poll has received coverage from a number of media outlets including The Hill<\/em>, The Guardian<\/em>, and PBS.<\/p>\n

Other survey questions also show an increase in pro-life sentiment. The survey asked respondents about whether \u201cyour state should allow someone to obtain a legal abortion\u201d in each of four different circumstances. For each circumstance, support for legal abortion fell during the past year. \u00a0Notably, the percentage of people who supported legal abortion if the woman \u201cdoes not want to be pregnant for any reason\u201d fell by five percentage points.<\/p>\n

Considering the media\u2019s consistently negative coverage of pro-life laws, this gain in pro-life sentiment is welcome news.<\/p>\n
