Would this help? It’s a Wikipedia article on one Robert Drinin. For those who don’t know of him, he played an important role in making abortion legal in the U.S. as he provided the political cover for Catholic politicians to support abortion.
He was also a Catholic priest.

“Throughout Drinan’s political career, his consistent support of abortion rights drew significant opposition from Church leaders, who had also repeatedly requested that he not hold political office in the first place.[1][3] Drinan attempted to reconcile his position with official Church doctrine by stating that while he was personally opposed to abortion, considering it “virtual infanticide,”[4] its legality was a separate issue from its morality. This argument failed to satisfy his critics. According to the Wall Street Journal, Drinan played a key role in the pro-choice platform becoming a common stance with politicians in the Kennedy family.[5]”

Interesting.....

Seems that the abortion players are not all Protestants and “you guys”.

I still would be interested in what evidence there is to verify the religious affiliation of abortion provider staff.
