It is no secret that America’s Catholics are deeply divided. Even before the Dobbs ruling last month, the Pew Research Center discovered deep divisions on attitudes towards abortion, but with some correlation between Mass attendance and opposition towards the practice. After the Supreme Court ruling, Pew found that 51 per cent of American Catholics disapproved of the decision, with 34 per cent strongly disapproving. Against this, Pew found that 48 per cent of Catholics did approve, although just 28 per cent did so strongly. In addition, Pew discovered that just 39 per cent of Catholics believe abortion should be illegal in some or all cases (9 per cent in all cases). This is against 60 per cent who feel abortion should be legal (23 per cent saying in all cases).
