More Americans identify themselves as “pro-choice” than “pro-life,” according to a new Gallup report published Friday from the results of a May 6-10 “Values and Beliefs poll.”
The gap of 50% pro-choice respondents to 44% pro-life respondents is the first time since 2008 that pro-choice came out ahead by a statistically significant amount. The pro-choice lead represents an increasing trend since 2012. However, it is not as high, nor is the gap as great, as in polling results in the 1990s.

The pro-choice percentage among both men and women has increased steadily since 2012, but there remains a gender gap of 54% of women to 46% of men who consider themselves pro-choice.
