Key Findings From Survey of Americans on Abortion

On May 31st, 2022, the Land Center for Cultural Engagement and Lifeway Christian Research released a survey of Americans, measuring their beliefs about abortion. In the wake of a pending Supreme Court decision on Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, it is important to study public sentiment in this way. This research, which surveyed 1,155 Americans, was in the field just before the leak of the draft Alito opinion which not only upholds the Mississippi abortion law at the heart of Dobbs, but also strikes down the precedent set in Roe v. Wade. The wide-ranging findings are compelling.
