American political ideology as a whole has shifted left in recent years, but women are becoming even more liberal, according to Gallup.

The survey data, released Wednesday, shows that while the country remains largely center-right, the percentage of those identifying as or leaning liberal has increased over the past three decades, and is now just 1 percent under it’s all-time high.

Roughly 36 percent of adults identify as conservative, 25 percent as liberal and the rest identify as either moderate or unsure, according to the poll.

When broken down by gender ideology, women in the youngest and oldest age groups said they were more likely to identify as liberal.

Women ages 18-29 were 40 percent more likely to be liberal in 2023, a slight decrease from 41 percent in 2022 and 44 percent in 2020, but still higher than the 30 percent in 2013. Those ages 65 and older were 25 percent more likely to identify as liberal — a slight increase from the 21 percent reported in 2013.

    Because it’s not. It’s extremist state governments that are doing that not the repeal of Roe versus Wade. I attacked the statement because it is a ridiculous statement. The repeal of Roe vs Wade is not killing women.

    It’s not like roe versus Wade automatically equals total abortion bans.

    Most pro-life people accept and support exceptions like rape, incest or when the mother’s health is at risk. It’s only a small minority of pro-life people that don’t believe there should ever be any exceptions. You’re literally arguing against a straw man.

      It doesn’t matter what the majority wants in regards to your claim of no deaths. That’s just unfullfilled hopes and wishes.

      We’re talking about the reality right now. And the reality is that the repeal has directly given the “extremists” the power to cause more maternal deaths, as you just acknowledged.

      Again, you’re talking about different issues.

      Pro-life itself is anti-freedom. I think pro-lifers should be denied representation in government. If you have a problem with that then you’re just hypocritical. Its the same as not allowing women to have determination over their own bodies.
