The poll mirrored findings of other
recent surveys, showing that more Americans identify as pro-life than as pro-choice (an 11% shift from October), and that
the vast majority of Americans favor restricting abortion.
Among the key findings:
- 86% of Americans would
significantly restrict abortion.
- 60% of Americans would limit abortion to cases of rape, incest or the
life of a mother -- or not allow it at all.
- 53% of Americans believe abortion does more harm than
good to a woman in the long term.
- 79% of Americans support conscience exemptions on abortion for health
care workers. This includes 64% of those who identify as strongly pro-choice.
- 69% of Americans think
that it is appropriate for religious leaders to speak out on abortion.
- 59% say religious leaders have
a key role to play in the abortion debate.
"The data shows that the American people are placing an ever
increasing value on human life," said Carl Anderson.
The survey of 1,223 Americans was conducted May 28 -
31 and has a margin of error of +/-3%.
