legal limits on abortion </div> </span> </div> <div class="col-article__byline"> <span>By Columbia staff</span> </div> <div class="col-article__date-mobile"> <time>March 1, 2023</time> </div> <section class="col-article__content-rich-text"> <div class="score-rich-text-block default default"> <div class="content-area "> <div class="rich-text "> <p>A Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll released Jan. 18 continues to show more nuance and consensus in Americans’ opinions about abortion than the binary labels “pro-life” and “pro-choice” might suggest.</p> <p>While a majority of Americans describe themselves as “pro-choice,” according to the poll, 69% favor restricting abortion to, at most, the first three months of pregnancy.</p> <p>“Nearly 7 in 10 Americans believe abortion should be limited,” said Barbara L. Carvalho, director of the Marist Poll. “After a year of contentious public debate over the Supreme Court’s <em>Dobbs</em> decision, the results are comparable to the findings of a Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll conducted last January.”</p> <p>The survey, commissioned annually by the Knights of Columbus since 2008, likewise confirmed that most Americans (60%) oppose the use of tax dollars to pay for abortion, while 78% oppose using tax dollars to pay for abortions in other countries. An even greater majority of respondents (90%) expressed agreement that laws can protect both the mother and her unborn child.</p> <p>“Since the start of the Knights of Columbus–Marist Poll in 2008, we’ve seen a consistent and clear consensus of Americans who support restrictions on abortion,” said Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly. “Too often, the abortion debate is framed in the context of supporting either one or the other. The reality is, we can — and must — craft laws that protect both mothers and their children.”</p> <p>Another area of substantial consensus in the abortion debate is the value of pregnancy resource centers that support women during their pregnancy and after their child is born: 91% of Americans surveyed said they support these organizations.</p> <p>The Knights of Columbus has made assistance to pregnancy resource centers a key priority — including the placement of more than 1,650 ultrasound machines in such centers since January 2009 and the launch of the ASAP (Aid and Support After Pregnancy) program in June 2022.</p> <p>“ASAP is a call to action for Knights across the United States and Canada to offer even more support for pregnancy resource centers, maternity homes and other organizations that give direct assistance to new mothers and babies,” the supreme knight said. “The Knights will redouble our efforts to restore a culture of life and advance a culture of compassion for pregnant women in need.”</p> <p>To see more of the poll’s findings, visit <a href="https://www.kofc.org/en/news-room/archive.html?section=h2-classxxl-pn-con-semi-weight-to-uppollsh2"
