The number of Americans who say that abortion is morally acceptable did not change between 2022 and 2023, remaining at 52%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Approval for pornography usage experienced a slight decrease from 41% to 39%, while approval for sex between unmarried men and women dipped 4% from 76% to 72%.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b data-stringify-type=\"bold\"><\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The poll results come after a different Gallup <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/news.gallup.com\/poll\/507023\/say-birth-gender-dictate-sports-participation.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">poll<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> found that Americans overwhelmingly believe that people should play in the sports league that corresponds with their sex.
