All surveys were conducted over the phone with adults in Canada, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, South Korea, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. Surveys were conducted face-to-face in Argentina, Brazil, Hungary, India, Indonesia, Israel, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Poland and South Africa. In Australia, we used a mixed-mode probability-based online panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Data from Hong Kong, Taiwan and Vietnam comes from a survey of 6,544 adults conducted from June 6 to Sept. 17, 2023. All interviews in Hong Kong and Taiwan were conducted over the phone; those in Vietnam were conducted face-to-face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the United States, data comes from a survey of 8,709 U.S. adults conducted from April 8 to 14, 2024. Everyone who took part in this survey is a member of Pew Research Center\u2019s American Trends Panel (ATP), an online survey panel that is recruited through national, random sampling of residential addresses. This way nearly all U.S. adults have a chance of selection. The survey is weighted to be representative of the U.S. adult population by gender, race, ethnicity, partisan affiliation, education and other categories.

In nearly every European country surveyed, at least 75% of adults hold this view, including roughly 25% or more who say it should be legal in <em>all<\/em> cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Swedes are especially supportive: 95% say it should be legal, including 66% who say it should be legal in <em>all<\/em> cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Poland stands out among the European countries surveyed for its residents\u2019 more restrictive views, at least compared with other Europeans. Over half of Poles (56%) say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, but 36% say it should be <em>illegal<\/em> in all or most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attitudes are more varied in the Asia-Pacific region. Majorities say abortion should be legal in all or most cases in Australia, Hong Kong, India, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan. But in Vietnam, a majority (59%) say it should be <em>illegal<\/em> in all or most cases, and 82% in Indonesia share this view.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Israel, 51% of adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while 42% say it should be illegal in all or most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In all three African countries surveyed \u2013 Kenya, Nigeria and South Africa \u2013 majorities say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases. That includes 88% of adults in Kenya and 91% in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In South America, views about legal abortion are divided in Argentina and Mexico. But in Brazil, seven-in-ten adults say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"abortion-legislation-and-views-of-abortion\">Abortion legislation and views of abortion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abortion rules tend to be more restrictive in places where support for legal abortion is lower. Abortions in Brazil, Indonesia and Nigeria are only permitted when a woman\u2019s life is at risk, <a href=\"https:\/\/reproductiverights.org\/maps\/worlds-abortion-laws\/\">according to the Center for Reproductive Rights<\/a>. In Israel, Kenya and Poland, abortion is permitted to preserve a woman\u2019s health. Most other places surveyed have more permissive regulations that allow abortions up to a specific point during the pregnancy. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Compared with Pew Research Center surveys over the past decade in <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2018\/10\/29\/eastern-and-western-europeans-differ-on-importance-of-religion-views-of-minorities-and-key-social-issues\/\">Europe<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2022\/03\/02\/son-preference-and-abortion\/\">India<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/religion\/2014\/11\/13\/religion-in-latin-america\/\">Latin America<\/a>, more people in many countries now say that abortion should be legal in all or most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"importance-of-religion-and-attitudes-toward-abortion\">Importance of religion and attitudes toward abortion<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Attitudes toward abortion are strongly tied to how important people say religion is in their lives. In places where a greater share of people say religion is at least somewhat important to them, much smaller shares think abortion should be legal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, 99% of Nigerians say religion is important in their lives and only 8% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. On the opposite end of the spectrum, 20% of Swedes see religion as important and 95% support legal abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People in India are outliers: 94% view religion as important, but 59% also favor legal abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-640-wide is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2024\/05\/15\/support-for-legal-abortion-is-widespread-in-many-countries-especially-in-europe\/sr_24-05-15_global-views-abortion_2\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f6f6f6\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_2.png?resize=480,428 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_2.png?resize=782,696 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_2.png?resize=960,855 960w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_2.png?resize=1200,1069 1200w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_2.png?resize=1280,1140 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"570\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_2.png?w=640\" alt=\"A scatter plot showing that support for legal abortion tends to be higher where people place less importance on religion.\" class=\"wp-image-167317 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f6f6f6; width:640px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-religious-affiliation-gdp-relate-to-abortion-views\">How religious affiliation, GDP relate to abortion views<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Economic development plays a role in this relationship, too. In <a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/global\/2020\/07\/20\/the-global-god-divide\/\">places with lower gross domestic product (GDP) per capita<\/a>, people tend to be more religious and have more restrictive attitudes about abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But the U.S. stands apart in this regard: Among the advanced economies surveyed, Americans have the highest per capita GDP but are among the <em>most <\/em>likely to say religion is important to them. They are also among the <em>least <\/em>likely to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-640-wide is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/short-reads\/2024\/05\/15\/support-for-legal-abortion-is-widespread-in-many-countries-especially-in-europe\/sr_24-05-15_global-views-abortion_3\/\"><img data-dominant-color=\"f1f1f0\" data-has-transparency=\"false\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_3.png?resize=480,928 480w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_3.png?resize=782,1512 782w, https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_3.png?resize=840,1624 840w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 480px) 480px, (max-width: 782px) 782px, 640px\" height=\"1237\" width=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/alpha.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2024\/05\/SR_24.05.15_global-views-abortion_3.png?w=640\" alt=\"A dot plot showing that religiously unaffiliated adults are more likely than those affiliated with a religion to favor legal abortion.\" class=\"wp-image-167318 not-transparent\" style=\"--dominant-color: #f1f1f0; width:420px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Religious affiliation is also an important factor when considering views of abortion in particular places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On balance, adults who are religiously unaffiliated \u2013 self-identifying as atheist, agnostic or \u201cnothing in particular\u201d \u2013 are more likely to say abortion should be legal in all or most cases than are those who identify with a religion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This difference is largest in the U.S., where 86% of religiously unaffiliated adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, compared with 53% of religiously affiliated Americans. Of course, differences also exist <em>among<\/em> religiously affiliated Americans. White evangelical Protestants are the least likely to favor legal abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In countries where there are two dominant religions and negligible shares of religiously unaffiliated adults, there are often divides between the dominant religions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Take Israel, for example, where 99% of adults affiliate with a religion. While 56% of Jewish adults say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, 23% of Muslims agree. And 89% of Jews who describe themselves as Hiloni (\u201csecular\u201d) favor legal abortion, compared with only 12% of Haredi (\u201cultra-orthodox\u201d) or Dati (\u201creligious\u201d) Jews. Masorti (\u201ctraditional\u201d) Jews fall in between, with 58% favoring legal abortion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Views differ by religion in Nigeria, too, even as the vast majority of Nigerians oppose legal abortion. One-in-ten Nigerian Christians support legal abortion in all or most cases, compared with just 3% of Nigerian Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"
