- robonerd 4y agoYou're using the past tense, but even today they're fractured. 24% of white evangelical protestants are pro-choice; 60% of white (not evangelical) protestants are pro choice, and 66% of black protestants are pro-choice. If we narrow consideration to just white evangelical protestants, a 24% / 74% split is clearly a strong trend against abortion. Even so, 1 in 4 is by no means rare. https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opinion-on-abortion/ https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/fact-sheet/public-opini...
