Yet the law reflects the values shared by many pro-choice clergy and laypeople committed to Protestant, Jewish and Catholic beliefs.

And:

By contrast, 74% of religiously unaffiliated Americans say abortion should be legal in all or most cases, as do two-thirds of white mainline Protestants (67%).
Catholics are somewhat more divided; 51% say abortion should be legal in all or most cases and 42% say it should be illegal.
