In 2024, around 54 percent of adults in the United States stated they considerd themselves pro-choice, meaning they would leave the decision to abort a pregnancy up to the pregnant woman. Pro-life supporters, which made up 41 percent at that time, oppose abortion altogether. Abortion in the United States Abortion and the question whether one is pro-life (and thus against abortion) or pro-choice (i.e. in favor of abortion) is a controversial topic in the United States and the subject of many heated discussions. Before the notorious “Roe vs. Wade” decision of the Supreme Court in 1973, abortion was illegal in most U.S. states and only legal under certain circumstances in others. In short, the case “Roe vs. Wade” was a milestone in granting women freedom over their own body, making abortion legal, as it ruled that a woman’s right to privacy included her unborn child, and set regulations for the availability of abortions. However, in June of 2022, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, making it possible for states to choose to completely ban abortion. As a result, around half of U.S. states were expected to ban the procedure. Pro-life and Pro-choice Ever since this decision, there have been two main mindsets (with many variations) when it comes to abortion. One is the pro-life attitude, which deems abortion murder and considers life starting at conception. The other is the pro-choice movement, which focuses on the well-being of the mother and insists that the woman alone should decide whether she wants to keep a baby or not. Politically, pro-lifers are usually seen as conservative, often belonging to the Republican camp, while pro-choicers are usually regarded as liberals who lean towards the Democrats. Of course, exceptions are not uncommon.

As of March 2024, among U.S. adults who believe that abortion should be restricted at all times during a pregnancy, ** percent were in favor of allowing abortion if the person's life is endangered by the pregnancy. For selected circumstances, except for when the fetus is diagnosed with a serious disability, anti-abortion supporters in the U.S. were likely to favor exceptions to abortion restriction.

Abstract This paper is interested on the political action of anti-abortion Catholic activism in Argentina, and the different performances of collective action that such groups develop in the urban public space. It analyzes how those calling themselves pro-life groups maintain a discourse opposing the legalization of abortion based on the deployment of scientific and bioethical arguments as a way to counter the presence and mobilization of feminist organizations, and oppose their demands for a voluntary pregancy interruption law.

This statistic shows the level of support, by gender, for changing the law in Ireland to allow women the right to have an abortion (as of 2018). Although the majority of both male and female respondents support changing the law, the level of support is higher among female respondents. Male respondents who do not support changing the law make up 28 percent of respondents, the same percentage as the female respondents. It is the 13 percent of males who have no opinion that bring the support levels for male respondents below females in this survey.

The purpose of this study was to explore factors influencing the attitudes of pro-choice and anti-abortion activists and to weigh individual commitments to the abortion debate. The study examines the values and moral beliefs of activists on both sides of the abortion issue. Both pro-choice and anti-abortion activists were interviewed, including men and women between the ages of 19 and 73. The respondents were asked open-ended questions on the following topics: the development of their political thinking; what factors (including upbringing, religious affiliation, moral beliefs) contributed to their choice to support either the pro-choice or anti-abortion movement; their history of activism in the movement and involvement in other political movements; their careers and family life; social tensions related to their activism; factors which motivate them to continue their activism; and predictions for the future of the movement and the importance of the abortion debate in the political future. Participants also completed background information sheets which consisted of questions on family and marital history, education, occupation, and political and religious affiliation. The Murray Archive holds additional analogue materials for this study [127 of the 212 original transcripts from the open-ended interviews (including 53 with pro-choice activists and 74 with anti-abortion activists) and 144 background information sheets; audiotapes for some of the interviews may be obtained with special permission].

When surveyed in late August 2022, Canadians most likely to support legislation restricting access to abortion were also the least likely to contribute more in income taxes to help improve the situation for single parents. For example, ** percent of those in favor of restricting access to abortion were willing to pay *** or *** percent more in income taxes to fund programs to support the children of single mothers, compared to ** percent of those in favor of a law guaranteeing access to abortion. In addition, only ** percent of those who wanted to restrict abortion supported making contraception available to everyone. This is consistent with the United States, where states that ban abortion have some of the weakest social safety nets in the country.

This research sought to understand how volunteers in pro-life organizations cultivate virtues as they act to protect and help pregnant women and their children. Drawing on the perspective of neo-Aristotelian virtue ethics, we sought to access the interrelationship between moral virtues and the intellectual virtue of phronesis, or practical wisdom. Considering the presupposition of the unity of virtues, we addressed the perspective of pro-life volunteers from four organizations, two Brazilian and two Spanish, between the years 2018 and 2020. We conducted a multiple case study of qualitative characteristics in which volunteers are considered mini-cases. We collected data through participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentary research, which were organized and coded using NVivo software. We performed open coding, besides starting from some previous categories. Through this process, we arrived at a data structure that allows us to show moral virtues such as justice, fortitude, and temperance, as well as some components of phronesis, related to judgment, decision, and action. The virtue of hope, in its moral dimension, also proved to be relevant to the daily actions of this volunteer. We gathered evidence of the relationship between temperance and phronesis and between hope and phronesis. We found that while the services provided and the cultural/legal context have differences between the cases, the virtues recognized as important for pro-life volunteering are similar. The data files that form this repository consist of the printed NVivo reports of the codes that resulted from the data analysis. They are numbered according to their connection to the concepts of moral virtues and phronesis in codes and subcodes. For example, "Codes 1.5 Temperance" is composed of subcodes 1.5.1 Acceptance, 1.5.2 Generosity, 1.5.3 Humility, and 1.5.4 Giving and teamwork.

In 2022, the states with the highest rates of abortion per 1,000 women aged 15 to 44 years in the United States were New Mexico, Illinois, and Kansas. The states with the lowest rates of abortion were Missouri and South Dakota. Abortion differences among the states In 2022, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade allowing states to restrict the practice of abortion or outright ban it completely. A number of states immediately banned the procedure through trigger laws they had in place in anticipation of the ruling. Even before the ruling, abortion accessibility and rates varied greatly from state to state, but this difference has become even more pronounced. For example, in 2022, Florida had an abortion rate of 20.5 per 1,000 women, while the rate in Missouri was just .1. Florida had the highest total number of abortions that year, followed by New York and Illinois. While Florida reported around 82,581 abortions in 2022, there were just 88 such procedures in Missouri. Public opinion on abortion In the United States, the debate surrounding abortion is often divided among those who are “pro-life” and think abortion should be restricted or banned and those who are “pro-choice” and believe the decision to abort a pregnancy should be up to the woman. Gallup polls show the distribution of people in the United States who are pro-life or pro-choice has fluctuated over the years but in 2023 around 52 percent of respondents stated they were pro-choice while 44 percent said they were pro-life. Older respondents are more likely to express views limiting access to abortion, while younger people are more likely to believe abortion should be legal under any circumstance. However, just a small minority of people of all ages believe abortion should be illegal in all circumstances.
