Women don’t often turn to churches or pastors for advice on abortion
Churchgoing women who are considering an abortion often don’t seek the counsel of pastors or others in their congregation, according to a recent survey by a Baptist polling group.
The survey was conducted by LifeWay Research, associated with the Southern Baptist Convention, and sponsored by the Care Net network of antiabortion pregnancy centers. California recently passed a law, following a campaign by abortion rights groups, to regulate such centers, which seek to prevent abortions.
The survey of 1,038 women who have had abortions asked respondents about their church attendance, who they talked to before they made a decision, and their perceptions about church attitudes concerning abortion.
