The 2025 Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll results, released today, show that 67% of Americans support placing legal limits on abortion, and that 60% support limiting abortions to at most the first three months of pregnancy.
This survey, conducted by the Marist Poll and commissioned annually by the Knights of Columbus, also found that, for the second consecutive year, 83% of Americans support pregnancy resource centers, which offer support to mothers both during their pregnancy and after their baby is born.
Additionally, the poll found that 62% of Americans believe healthcare professionals with religious objections to abortions should not be legally required to perform them, while 82% of respondents believe that laws can protect both the mother and her unborn child.

“This year’s survey results show that Americans are once again firm in their belief that abortion should be significantly limited yet laws should include exceptions for rape, incest, or to save the
life of the mother,” says Dr. Barbara L. Carvalho, Director of the Marist Poll. “This consistent year over year trend found in the annual Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll has continued, now
nearly three years after the Supreme Court’s landmark Dobbs decision.”
“The Knights of Columbus-Marist Poll once again shows that a majority of Americans support legal restrictions on abortion, and an overwhelming majority support pregnancy resource centers,
which assist mothers and their children in greatest need,” said Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly.
Supreme Knight Kelly continued, “Being pro-life means being pro-woman and pro-child, and helping vulnerable women and their babies is in the Knights’ DNA.” Knights across the U.S. and Canada have raised nearly $14 million to support vital pregnancy resource centers through our ASAP, or Aid and Support After Pregnancy program. Knights have also funded the purchase of over 1,900 ultrasound machines, which empower vulnerable mothers to see their unborn babies. The Knights of Columbus’ mission to support mothers in need and their children, both born and unborn, continues to guide our work today,” concluded Kelly.
