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.
