And now... the REST of the story

From the Jul-Aug '07 Catalyst, publication of the Catholic League:

The Associated Press Reported on June 1 that Catholic voters "support legalized abortion in all or most circumstances by 53% to 43%, according to 2004 exit polling."

Such polls typically don't separate practicing Catholics from those who haven't been to Mass in ages. When that distinction is made, the numbers are much more revealing.

For instance, a 2006 poll by Purdue University's james Davidson found that 72% of weekly Mass attendees oppose abortion; versus only 29% of lukewarm or lapsed Catholics.
