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.
One in 3,000 women die from pregnancy or birth complications in the US each year.

There should be exceptions for genuine medical life-threatening reasons for abortion. But that represents less than 1% of all abortions.

And while risk of death is fortunately relatively low in the US, it’s only one of the many negative consequences of the repeal.
Many women survive the birth only to be inflicted with any one of a range of physical medical issues, including life long disability and chronic pain.
There’s also deep mental issues that arise.
Likewise, there are the potential negative health concerns for the baby to consider.
On top of that, there’s all the many socio-economic problems.
I’m not saying there are easy answers to all this, but I’m not minimizing the issues either.
Econgrad’s goalpost shifting is shameless.
