The biggest abortion battle is not in the Supreme Court...It's in the Church

In doing some statistical research for a twitter post today, I came across this information from the website abortionno.org:

Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. 18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical".

I take this to mean that no matter how much Christians lament the election of Obama as a serious setback in the cause of protecting the unborn, there is a more serious threat than the liberal political agenda. According to these stats, left-leaning, secular, irreligious people are not the main problem in protecting the unborn; the Churched are the bigger problem.

How tragic. Pastors (of which I am one) will give an account.
