On Heels of Historic Election, Further Proof Americans Reject Dems’ All-Trimester No-Limits Agenda

Washington, D.C. – Ahead of the March for Life, America’s largest annual pro-life demonstration, a new Marist/Knights of Columbus nationwide poll confirms seven in 10 Americans support limits on abortion. Key findings include:

• Late-term abortion: 72% of Americans support limiting abortion to, at most, six months of pregnancy – the end of the second trimester.
  • Includes ~71% of women, 78% of Independents and 56% of rank-and-file Democrats.
• Limits vs. no limits: In a binary choice between limits on abortion and no limits, over two thirds (67%) reject the no-limits position.
• Taxpayer funding: 57% of Americans, including 54% of women, oppose using tax dollars to fund abortion domestically (29% “strongly” oppose); 73% oppose using tax dollars to fund abortion abroad.
• Freedom not to perform abortions: 62% of Americans oppose forcing doctors, nurses and other health professionals to carry out abortions.
• Safety standards on abortion drugs: 63% of Americans, including 62% of women, agree an in-person visit to a medical professional should be required before abortion drugs can be given out.
• Pregnancy centers: 83% of Americans support pregnancy resource centers, which offer vital material, medical and educational support to mothers both during their pregnancy and after their baby is born.
  • Includes 83% of Independents, 79% of Democrats, 82% of women and 80% of self-identified pro-choice respondents.

SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser welcomed the poll results, saying:

“Democrats who are still ‘Shouting Your Abortion’ after losing the presidency, House, and Senate in 2024 should think again. Their agenda of taxpayer-funded abortion throughout all nine months of pregnancy remains deeply unpopular, as do their attacks on pro-life doctors and pregnancy centers that offer real alternatives to abortion. With a new administration in charge, we look forward to reversing Biden’s weaponization of every aspect of the federal government to push abortion on demand, getting American taxpayers out of the abortion business, and a new focus on putting our government to work to truly serve both mother and child.”

Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America is a network of more than one million pro-life Americans nationwide, dedicated to ending abortion by electing national leaders and advocating for laws that save lives, with a special calling to promote pro-life women leaders.
