Black Protestant Support For Abortion Rights Rises
A new survey from the Public Religion Research Institute shows 70% of Black Protestants now favor abortion being legal in all or most cases. Six in ten U.S. adults overall favor abortion rights according to the data. Support for abortion rights has risen among certain religious groups while declining in others. The findings were reported by NPR. A survey of 22,000 people across all 50 US states indicates that 70% of Black Protestants now favor the legality of abortion. The data reflects shifting religious perspectives on reproductive rights within the United States. This represents an increase from 56% recorded in 2010. Favorability has seen a slight decline among mainline Protestants and white Catholics, though majorities in both groups still support abortion rights.
