7 of 10 women surveyed who had abortions were Christian, and of that, 4 of 10 reported church attendance at least once a month, and more…

Yet, as reported by ABC News, “In the midterm elections, evangelical Christians across the nation reconfirmed their allegiance to conservative candidates and causes, while Catholic voters once again showed how closely divided they are —— even on abortion.”

This is what a new national survey commissioned by Care Net found about abortion, women, and the church.  The survey found that nearly 4 in 10 women who have had abortions were attending church regularly at the time of their abortion.

Care Net, who boast, “more than 40 years experience empowering women and men considering abortion to choose life and find abundant life in Christ, Care Net has created a variety of free resources for you and your family—each resource expertly crafted to be an effective advocate for the unborn.”

If the statistic that 7-out-of-10 abortions performed are for women who self-identify as Christian—I mean, what would ‘Jesus’ do?—extrapolates out in a larger population study, then it might tell me maybe we might suggest working out the “American family values” out somewhere else 🏡 other than at the polls?

Let’s throw into those other 3-of-the-10 a case of incest, a case of rape, and a case of uncertain viable sustainable life, due to …? Is your face ashen yet?

Meanwhile, “non-religious voters wield clout, [and] tilt heavily Democratic” according to today’s AP news, a group that includes both atheists and agnostics.

In a mediated landscape it’s hard to tell how many others out there realize that the Independents hold the largest party membership.

“I am every partisan politician’s worst nightmare—a registered independent…”

“Wildly unpredictable in my voting habits over the last three decades, I have cast ballots for Democrats, Republicans, independents and assorted loose cannons.”

The survey, which interviewed 1,038 respondents who’ve all had abortions [in America], found that 20 percent of the respondents attended church at least once a week at the time of their first pregnancy termination.

Six percent said they attended church more than once per week, while about 54 percent said they rarely or never attended a church.

That’s over 40 percent of women who have had an abortion say they were frequent churchgoers at the time they ended their pregnancies—and about a half of them say they kept their abortions hidden—from church members, according to the semi-new LifeWay Research.

As a majority Christian churches [in America] do not support aborting a child, only 7 percent of women said they discussed their abortion decision with anyone at church, while 52 percent said no one at their church knew about their abortion.

Recent studies of Europe “have shown that between the mid-1990s and 2011, the rates of teenage pregnancy have declined across much of the globe. This may be due to better sex education and more openness between teenagers and the parents offering guidance,” according to the World Atlas.

If love conquers all—like, I believe—then why doesn’t this fight begin at home?
