        Democrats’ Self-ID on Abortion, 1995-2024

        12% pro-life in 2024. 34% in 2012.

        Going by

        Democrats’ Views on Legality of Abortion, 1975-2024

        It’s 61% pro-choice, 31% limited abortion, 3% totally illegal in 2024

        It’s 40% pro-choice, 41% limited abortion, 13% totally illegal in 2012

        Compare that to

        Republicans’ Views on Legality of Abortion, 1975-2024

        12% pro-choice, 64% limited abortion, 23% totally illegal in 2024

        9% pro-choice, 61% limited abortion, 28% totally illegal in 2012

        Unless we’re going to count the GOP both now and then as a pro-choice party, the fact is that the Dems being majority pro-choice is a recent phenomenon.

          True, I just see pro-life people as all forms as illegal. Where as limited to me is still pro-choice because that phrasing could mean people who agree that 3rd trimester shouldn’t be allowed type of opinion, as they do in most of the EU.
