New Poll Shows That a Single Trait Determines the US Abortion Divide

A recent survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute has revealed some interesting insights into the attitudes towards abortion in America. The survey, which included 22,000 participants from across the country, found that a majority of Americans support at least some access to abortion, regardless of their faith.

However, the survey also highlighted a significant divide among white Christian nationalists, who were found to be the most opposed to abortion. States with higher levels of Christian nationalism were less likely to support abortion rights, with Mississippi at one end of the spectrum and Oregon at the other.

The survey also found that only 25% of those identified as Christian nationalists believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. This group was particularly strong in their opposition to abortion, with just 29% expressing support for abortion rights. In contrast, Hispanic and Black Christian nationalists were more supportive of abortion rights, with 34% and 59% respectively.

The findings of the survey have raised concerns about the influence of white Christian nationalism on policy making in the United States. The divide between Democrats and Republicans on the issue of abortion is stark, with 86% of Democrats supporting abortion rights compared to just 36% of Republicans.

As the debate over abortion continues to shape the political landscape, it is clear that the issue is far from settled. The survey’s results suggest that the influence of white Christian nationalism on policy making could have far-reaching consequences, not just for reproductive rights, but also for the future of the GOP.
