Abortion in the United States

=== By educational level ===
Support for the legalization of abortion is significantly higher among more educated adults than less educated, and has been consistently so for decades.<ref name=Gallop_Ed_level_2010 >{{ cite web | url=https://news.gallup.com/poll/127559/education-trumps-gender-predicting-support-abortion.aspx | title=Education Trumps Gender in Predicting Support for Abortion – College-educated adults – and especially college-educated women – most supportive | last=Saad | first=Lydia | work=[[Gallup (company)|Gallop]] | date=April 28, 2010 | access-date=January 5, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170916120533/https://news.gallup.com/poll/127559/education-trumps-gender-predicting-support-abortion.aspx | archive-date=September 16, 2017 | url-status=live | quote=Educational achievement is much more important than gender in determining support for broadly legal abortion, with college-educated adults – and especially college-educated women – the most supportive. This has been the case since the 1970s.  Gallup's long-term abortion question – instituted two years after the 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling gave sweeping constitutional protection to abortion – asks Americans to say whether they believe abortion should be 'legal under any circumstances,' 'legal only under certain circumstances,' or 'illegal in all circumstances.'}}</ref> In 2019, 70% of college graduates support abortion being legal in all or most cases, as well as 60% of those with some college education, compared to 54% of those with a high school degree or less.<ref name=PEW_2019 >{{ cite web | url=https://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/ | title=Public Opinion on Abortion – Views on abortion, 1995–2019 | work=[[Pew Research Center]] | date=August 29, 2019 | access-date=January 5, 2020 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190919172116/https://www.pewforum.org/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/ | archive-date=September 19, 2019 | url-status=live | quote=Seven-in-ten college graduates (70%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, as do 60% of those with some college education.
