In an exit poll conducted by Fox News, 40 percent of American voters stated that they believe Abortion should be illegal in most or all cases, with 29 percent saying it should be illegal in most cases and 12 percent saying it should be illegal in all cases.
Thirty-five percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal in most cases, while 25 percent of Americans believe abortion should be completely legal in all cases.
Broken down by candidate preference, of the voters who stated abortions should be illegal in all cases, 81 percent voted for President Trump, and for those who thought abortion should be illegal in most cases, 77 percent voted for President Trump. Interestingly enough, roughly 1 in 5 Biden voters (18 percent) thought Abortion should be illegal in all cases, and it was roughly the same for illegal in most cases as well (21 percent).
According to data collected by Gallup in their historical trends on Abortion report, as of May 2020, 70 percent of Americans believe abortion should be legal only under certain circumstances or illegal in all circumstances.
This trend comes at a time when it is estimated roughly 1 in 4 women have had an abortion in their lifetime. This is mostly due to unplanned pregnancies, which made up about half of all abortions. However, abortions in general are going downhill, as the Guttmacher Institute reports that abortions are at all-time lows, meaning fewer people, as a whole, are getting abortions than in previous years.
The abortion rate skyrocketed in the immediate years following the legalization of Abortion in Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Balton, two Supreme Court rulings that overturned laws that made abortions illegal. However, with President Trump nominating pro-life Justices to the Supreme Court, it is theorized that there are enough justices to have a majority and end abortion if it makes it to the Supreme Court.

Please make it more public that 10+ states (including my state of IL) have ALREADY made “Up to the day of birth abortion” for any reason LEGAL! I truly only thought it was a far-left “idea” nearly every person I told this to ALSO did not know this. I believe if more people knew this…they would be STRONGLY opposed.
“On MSNBC, a large panel seemingly agreed with Jennifer Rubin’s calls for the burning down of the Republican Party and the elimination of all survivors. Is this the “dark winter” Biden warned us about?”
This person, Jennifer Rubin, is a journalist with the Washington Post. I saw this “headline” and later I was sitting in my recliner praying. As I sat there, I was really struck by the truth that someone wants me dead or in prison. Me. A normal American sitting in a recliner in a normal American city praying to God for our nation…and she wants me dead or in jail. She wants me eliminated. It is no wonder that 60% of Americans want abortion to be legal when a journalist from a major newspaper can sit around on a panel on a major news network and declare that she wants EVERYONE with whom she disagrees politically to be eliminated. God save us! We are standing firm with our eyes on the horizon looking for a cloud as small as a man’s hand that will indicate that you are about to flood our land with righteousness. We are blessed because we are waiting on YOU.
Well said. Evil as planted a firm foot in far too many. Our brave POTUS stands with you & God. All will be well.
No, I’m not surprised. I read a week or so ago that the country of Poland has completely outlawed abortion except in cases of incest, rape, and where the mother’s life is in danger. Some poles believe it should be outlawed completely! FATHER GOD YOU are our FATHER of life not death. I claim for abortions to be completely banned in the U. S. In JESUS MIGHTY Name! Amen!
That the soul of the USA is united in prayer for President Donald Trump (and good supporters) to be successful in exposing satan’s plans. For the defeat of satan’s plans. That the fraudulent plan of Liberals/Leftists (for the US Presidential election process and beyond) is exposed and is defeated. That President Trump is re-elected. May God’s Mercy be upon the USA. Amen.
Father, forgive us, how can we be a nation who deserves Your mercy when we do not vote for those who desire to protect life from conception to Your appointed time for death? We confess this sin and apostasy against Your Word, against the travesty of abortion, Father, forgive us, . I pray for revival, repentance, a turning from wickedness, Your healing. Father, You are God and there is no other. We need You Lord, we need You, Lord. In Jesus name.
There is no reason a child should be killed from abortion. Lord, please help us become a generation that sees the end of abortion. Amen
“Regard not man whose breath is in his nostrils” (Isaiah 2:22). Even if “polls” were saying it’s ok, is that our benchmark? “Though hand joined in hand, the wicked shall not go unpunished” (Prov 11:22). Abortions are lower because there is not even any shame to be an unwed mother. ACB was not an accident. God still wants us to stop the shedding of innocent blood. On the top of things the seven things the Lord hates, and the one thing in the Bible that says God would not forgive. “Surely this happened to Judah at the LORD’s command, to remove them from His presence because of the sins of Manasseh and all that he had done, and for the innocent blood that Manasseh shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood. which the LORD would not pardon” (2 Kings 24:3-4). We see this is something You have never made statements so strongly against — it is shocking, sobering and sounds an alarm in my soul — I think we need to confess such an heinous atrocity which we confess as gross sin, pray about and resist daily.
The world aborts 66,000 – 120,000 babies daily — it took three months and 12 days to COVID-19 Coronavirus had been on our soil to reach that number of babies aborted daily — just let that sink in — all the people who died in NY, NJ, LA, Washington State, California and every other state and territory just in the U.S. alone equals the amount of Babies aborted daily worldwide — does your political loyalty further that or want to end it? Jesus, we plead the blood of Jesus over our sins and the sins of our nation — forgive us for furthering abortion throughout the world, end our involvement with the W.H.O. — end abortion and send revival to America. Strengthen our Christian leaders and protect us from the evil one (Matt 6:13, John 17:15, 2 Thes 3:2-3). Let the True Word of God and good teaching spread (2 Thes 3:1). May there be more outrage over 66,000 babies that are executed in what should be the safest place on earth than other civic issues that pale in significance to this the greatest of evils on the planet, Ex 20:13.
Thank you, David.
I’ve not seen such a clear picture of JUST ONE of the prime reasons our country has been hit with disaster after disaster: weather, distress, plague, and all the other atrocities we’ve faced. The sin of shedding innocent blood unashamedly, and then SELLING the parts of those innocents for our own financial enrichment. Thank you, David, for such a complete scriptural eye-opener. Oh, how we need to REPENT!!
