Church Awareness Survey Shows Need for More Awareness and Outreach on Abortion Issues

News: Most respondents -- about 73 percent -- said that preaching on abortion was rarely or never done in their church or place of worship. Only about 19 percent of respondents said that their pastor or religious leaders regularly preached on abortion.

We also asked whether people in your churches (including your pastor or other religious leaders) are aware that most abortions are unwanted or coerced or know about the spiritual and emotional impact of abortion on women and men. Most respondents were either not sure or didn't think this was known in their churches. Less than a quarter of respondents felt that these issues were adequately known and addressed in their churches.
