A recent survey by Pew Research Center shows most Arkansans believe abortion should be illegal.
Over the years, public opinion polling has shown time and again that most Arkansans are pro-life and strongly oppose abortion on demand.
Pew’s latest survey reveals how people’s views on abortion vary from state to state — and how many states are divided on the issue.
“In states like Nebraska and Utah,” Pew writes, “attitudes are split almost down the middle. In Wyoming, Kentucky and Louisiana, 54% say abortion should be legal while 45% say it should be illegal. But these differences are not statistically significant.”

According to Pew’s article, the survey found 57% of Arkansans believe abortion should be prohibited in all or most cases.
Pew notes, “Meanwhile, people in Arkansas are more likely to say abortion should generally be illegal (57%) rather than legal (41%). Arkansas is the only state where the balance of public opinion is against abortion by a statistically significant margin.“
It’s been nearly three years since the U.S. Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade. Today, abortion in Arkansas is generally prohibited except to save the life of the mother. The state legislature has passed good measures this year that further clarify those pro-life laws. And Arkansas has given millions of dollars to help support women with unplanned pregnancies and promote maternal wellness.
All of this goes to show that Arkansas is a deeply pro-life state when it comes to public policy as well as public opinion.
