Christian group conducts study on abortion, finds that Christians have the most abortions
By Isadora Teich, November 30, 2015
In the wake of the November 27, 2015 Planned Parenthood shooting in Colorado Springs, the findings of a survey released by LifeWay, a Christian research group, reveal some interesting facts about a seemingly hidden culture within the Christian community.
The survey explored the true relationship of religion and abortion and was co-sponsored by the pregnancy support organization Care Net. These are some of their findings.70 percent of the women they surveyed considered themselves Christians.
Over 50 percent of the surveyed women who attend church regularly have kept their abortions secret from their church community.
40 percent of women surveyed feel that churches are not equipped to help them make decisions about unwanted pregnancies.
Within these surprising findings lies an unsettling symptom of anti-abortion culture, which often shames women who terminate pregnancies. According to the research, roughly a third of women (regardless of their religious beliefs) cite the father of the unborn baby as the most influential person in their decision to have an abortion.
Many agree that the surveys results are particularly damning of church culture, which fails to find the proper guidance for women facing such a difficult time.

OP
Shouldn't be surprising to anyone who has watched good Christians outside women's clinics

They make up the largest denomination so I would expect these results since the anti abortion groups

Indeed, there are a variety of ways to get numbers to lie for our own benefit.
