Oh, and, it's not 'religious right extremism' at work here.
More like mainstream American Christianity at work here.
Most sects and branches of Christendom perceive that Abortion is equivalent to Infanticide.

Induced Abortion in the United States
Thirty-seven percent of women obtaining abortions identify as Protestant and 28% identify as Catholic.[
3]
37 + 28 = 65% of all women obtaining abortions self identify as Christians.
But that's within a narrow confines of those who obtain an Abortion.
Broaden the domain to the population at-large and the numbers begin to look different, don't they?
The challenge is not to discover the percentage of Christians amongst those obtaining an abortion.
The challenge is to discover the percentage of Christians within the general population who view Abortion as Evil and Wrong.
Actually they don't look different!
