Another 18% of respondents said that abortion should only be allowed within the first three months of pregnancy.
The poll found that 58% of Americans consider themselves pro-choice and 40% of Americans consider themselves pro-life. About 70% of Republicans considered themselves pro-life, as did 16% of Democrats and 39% of independents.
“Once again, most Americans are steadfast in their belief that abortion should be significantly limited yet laws should include exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the life of the mother,” Barbara Carvalho, the director of the Marist Poll, said in a statement.
“This clear trend found in the annual Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll has continued, nearly two years after the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision.”
The poll also found that a small majority of respondents, 53%, are against tax money being used to support abortion domestically. A larger proportion, 67%, do not support the use of American tax money to support abortion abroad.
About 66% of respondents said they do not believe that pro-life doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals should be legally required to perform abortions. About 83% of those polled said they support the work of pregnancy resource centers, which provide services to pregnant women but do not offer abortion.
