Don't forget the people who want women to sacrifice their life carrying by forcing them to carry an unviable embryo.
i know this is a meme but it’s inaccurate. for example, the roman catholic church is widely pro life but generally anti death penalty.
this is not a defense of the institution which covered up known sex abuse cases. i just think it’s valuable to know your enemy.
I don't know how the Catholic church handles its hierarchy, but doctrine doesn't necessarily equal people calling for legislation. Under half of Catholics want to legislate abortion restrictions, compared to 77% of white evangelicals.
According to Guttmacher, 99% of Catholic women have used contraceptives. And I don't know if this is broken down per capita by religion, but...
- 17% of abortion patients [self-]identified as mainline Protestant;
- 13% as evangelical Protestant;
- 24% as Catholic
"People who self identify as pro-life" and "People who favor the death penalty".
That part is so true. "I value life" but also say kill the motherfucker.
