i know this is a meme but it’s inaccurate. for example, the roman catholic church is widely pro life but generally anti death penalty.
this is not a defense of the institution which covered up known sex abuse cases. i just think it’s valuable to know your enemy.
I don’t know how the Catholic church handles its hierarchy, but doctrine doesn’t necessarily equal people calling for legislation. Under half of Catholics want to legislate abortion restrictions, compared to 77% of white evangelicals.
According to Guttmacher, 99% of Catholic women have used contraceptives. And I don’t know if this is broken down per capita by religion, but…
- 17% of abortion patients [self-]identified as mainline Protestant;
- 13% as evangelical Protestant;
- 24% as Catholic
“People who self identify as pro-life” and “People who favor the death penalty”.
That part is so true. “I value life” but also say kill the motherfucker.
“It’s okay to kill anyone who is old enough to make bad choices. Fetuses are innocent because they have never committed a crime.”
