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.

    That’s on the doctors and I think it’s political in nature rather than as you described. I’m skeptical that this actually happens frequently.

        It’s almost like this was a healthcare decision. That should have been left between doctors and their patients. Not a bunch of balding fascists.

        I’m sorry but that’s in no way an objective source. On this particular social issue, that’s like citing Fox News. I’ll take some local news website or something that lists that sources or best of all the scientific study on the reluctance of doctors to perform abortions.

        But I will not accept an NPR editorial on abortion as evidence.

        Also that slogan is not as pithy as you think. Lol. Kind of makes you sound like a wine mom.

          Dude, that is NPR. Grow the fuck up. You’re worried about NPR but really no one in your life should trust you because you have very poor judgement.

      So you want to legislate but don’t want any responsibility for your legislation? Why would anybody give a shit about what you think?

      It is happening constantly. These laws don’t define what they mean when they say the mother’s life is at risk, so doctors wait until women are on death’s doorstep because otherwise they can be charged with a crime.

      Pro-lifers don’t actually think about the consequences of their vague ass laws. Women ARE dying because of the repeal of RvW and it isn’t their fault, or the doctors’, it’s the climate of fear that was intentionally created by the extremists who support this bullshit.
