Public opinion on access to mifepristone in the U.S. in 2023, by race and religion
As of May 2023, some ** percent of White evangelical Protestant adults were of the opinion that mifepristone in the U.S. should be taken off the market. However, across all races and religious groups, the majority of respondents maintained that access to mifepristone should remain in the U.S. in 2023. More than half of all U.S. abortions are medical abortions performed by combining mifepristone with misoprostol.Â
