Do you know if there are Protestant denominations that ACCEPT abortion as NOT a sin? I don’t really know.

Liberal and some mainline denominations: In general, these either promote a woman's right to choose an abortion, or are relatively silent on the matter. A number of liberal and mainline Christian and Jewish faith groups and organizations have publicly stated that abortions are sometimes an acceptable option, and should remain legal. According to lists prepared by The Secular Web and the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice, they include, in alphabetic order: 1
Current beliefs by various religious and secular groups
American Baptist Churches-USA (see below),
American Friends (Quaker) Service Committee,
Christian Church (Disciples of Christ),
Episcopal Church (USA),
Federation of Reconstructionist Congregations and Havurot,
Moravian Church in America-Northern Province,
National Council of Jewish Women,
Presbyterian Church (USA),
Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,
Unitarian Universalist Association,
United Church of Christ,
United Methodist Church,
