Gallup’s newest poll shows more Americans consider themselves pro-life

Gallup released their newest poll on abortion, finding that American attitudes towards abortion have mostly remained steady. However, despite the very best efforts of the pro-abortion media, pro-life attitudes have increased.

While the percentage of Americans identifying as “pro-choice” or “pro-life” is virtually tied, at 47 percent to 46 percent, respectively, the number of Americans identifying as pro-life has grown over the past year, while the number of Americans identifying as pro-choice has dipped.

Meanwhile, more Americans feel that abortion is morally wrong.
