from: Reactions to the End of Roe Reveal Divisions Between Religious Leaders
"According to the Public Religion Research Institute, 43% of Americans who “identify strongly” with their religious identity do not believe Roe v. Wade needed to be overturned. There’s a wide variability within the ranks, however. A majority (56%) of U.S. Catholics believe abortion should be legal, but only 30% of Catholics who attend mass weekly. Similarly, 60% of mainline protestants favor abortion being legal, but only 30% of white evangelical protestants. A slight majority of Muslims and a large majority of Jews also believe abortion should be legal in most cases."
70% of Catholics who attend mass weekly - apparently do not believe abortion is ok
70% of white evangelical protestants do not favor abortion
