Yesterday marked the 36th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's landmark abortion ruling, Roe v. Wade.
According to a poll conducted by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public
Life in August of 2008, a slim majority of the public (54%) says
abortion should be legal in all (17%) or most (37%) cases, while 41
percent say abortion should be illegal in all (15%) or most (26%) cases.

The U.S. Religious Landscape Survey, conducted in 2007 by the Pew
Research Center, shows a wide variance in how religious affiliation
influences views on abortion. For example, members of the following
groups believe that abortion should be legal in most or all cases:
- Jewish — 88 percent
- Mainline Protestant — 62 percent
- Catholic — 48 percent
- Muslim — 48 percent
- African American — 47 percent
- Evangelical — 33 percent
- Mormon — 27 percent
- Jehovah's Witness — 16 percent

It is heart-breaking to me that anyone who names the name of our Lord can be pro-abortion.
