Our 2026 polling results are clear: Hoosiers still believe Indiana’s abortion ban goes too far. But 60% of voters don’t know where their own state representative stands on Indiana’s abortion ban. Read the full poll here.

  • Indiana's abortion ban is too restrictive. Fifty-two percent of respondents said Indiana's abortion law, which bans abortion with narrow exceptions only for the pregnant person's life or health, a lethal fetal anomaly up to 20 weeks, or rape or incest up to 10 weeks, is too restrictive. Only thirty-three percent said it strikes the right balance.

  • Voters want a say. Seventy-one percent said Indiana voters should be able to vote directly on the state's abortion law through a ballot measure. A 2024 poll showed eighty percent of voters were not aware that Indiana’s constitution does not allow for direct vote ballot or referendum initiative. 

  • Voters don't know where their own lawmaker stands. Sixty percent of voters did not know where their state representative stands on Indiana's near-total abortion ban.

  • Voters worry about what comes next. Fifty-three percent said it is likely that common forms of birth control, like IUDs, will be restricted in Indiana within the next five years. Forty-six percent said it is likely that pregnant women will be prevented from leaving the state to get an abortion elsewhere.

  • A real knowledge gap persists. Thirty-two percent of respondents were not sure whether abortion is effectively banned in Indiana at all, and forty-three percent did not know that rape and incest survivors lose access to this care after 10 weeks of pregnancy.
