Sadly, 7 out of ten women who have abortions say they are Christians. Of those, a significant number of them describe themselves as evangelical.

I'm not surprised by this in the least. I have long maintained the only difference between most pro-life women and most pro-choice women is their view of abortion.

Both sides share the same basic view of their rights and responsibilities, vis-à-vis men.

You are clearly reading more in my post than is there. What I said was there are some self-described evangelicals who have abortions. To suggest they do in anywhere near the same proportion as lukewarm Christians or those without religion is a stretch, and I don't appreciate you using my post to suggest there is little difference between the behaviors of Christian women and non-Christian women.

I was shocked to hear a pregnant, church going Baptist tell me once that all testing had shown her unborn child had no autism, or whatever, so she didn't have to have a abortion.

This was when she was pregnant with her third child.

"I'm not surprised by this in the least. I have long maintained the only difference between most pro-life women and most pro-choice women is their view of abortion."

I wonder if a major difference between them is whether they've ever had an unwanted pregnancy, or an unwanted pregnancy scare or have had a child. It's much easier to be pro-choice if you've never been faced with an unwanted pregnancy. It's harder to be pro-choice if you've known the joys of motherhood.
