Good thing that before his visit to the US the Pope announced priests can absolve women who have had an abortion. In the US about 1 in 3 women or 30.1% depending on whose study you want to cite, will have an abortion. The abortion rate for Protestants is 15 per 1,000 while Catholics have abortions at the higher rate of 22 per 1,000.
What proportion of U.S. women obtaining abortions are religious?
Answer
More than seven in 10 U.S. women obtaining an abortion report a religious affiliation (37% protestant, 28% Catholic and 7% other), and 25% attend religious services at least once a month.[38] The abortion rate for protestant women is 15 per 1,000 women, while Catholic women have a slightly higher rate, 22 per 1,000.[32]
