Left-wing politicians, pundits, and other elitists have regularly criticized Republicans on abortion. This is especially true after the Supreme Court’s ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization overturned Roe v. Wade and held that the United States Constitution does not protect any right to abortion.
Predictably, the Left used this ruling to label Republicans as extremists regarding the killing of the unborn. Yet, data shows that it was actually Democrats who’ve become more radical on abortion, not Republicans.
A new poll published by Pew Research Center last week showed that between 2007 and 2023, there’s been a 20% increase among Democrats who believe that abortion “should be legal in all or most cases.” In 2007, 63% of Democrats felt abortion should always be legal; in 2023, that grew to 84% of Democrats. Meanwhile, the percentage of Republicans has roughly stayed the same over that period, with only a 1% increase in support, going from 39% to 40%.
