In year 2000 poll, percentage of pro-choice people was 49% among both men and women. In 2006 it was 51% for both. Since 1995 and until 2020, the difference never exceeded 8%, peaking at 20% in 2025 correlating with political polarisation, with year 2010 men responding more pro-choice than women respondents by 5% (47% vs. 42%)‡.

Partisan divide was always more influential than the gender one, with pro-choice stance being 47% less popular among republican women than among democratic women; 42% gap for R/D men in 2020–2021 poll‡. If cisgender men could give birth, it wouldn't have more influence on their abortion stance than overall political beliefs.

AC means Alternating Current, electrical current that periodically reverses direction, and DC means Direct Current, a current that continuously flows in one direction. AC/DC on a socket means it can take both types of power.
