And do these so called Catholics who support abortion go to Church?

From the poll:

In general, Americans who are the most religious also tend to be the most conservative on moral issues. Catholics are no exception. Regular churchgoing Catholics (defined as those who attend church weekly or almost every week) are significantly less likely to find most issues measured in this research morally acceptable than are Catholics who do not attend church regularly.

The chart is still higher than it should be, but it does drop when you count only those who attend regularly.

For any non-Catholics reading this non-news article, a Catholic who doesn't attend Mass every Sunday without a good excuse is in a state of mortal sin. Therefore, "Catholics" who don't attend Mass are by definition not really Catholics at all.
