How could people who read the Bible regularly believe elective abortion is okay? let along 1/3 of them? That’s a lot.

not surprising.

how do you know the Truth?

ans: get into the presence of Jesus Christ.

What is the easiest way to get into His presence?

ans: read Him.

‘In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God and the Word was God.’

anyone who continues to study Him diligently (and that is OT just as much as NT) is going to get closer and closer to the Truth and Wisdom.

Looks like 1/3 of those who read the Bible regularly don’t comprehend what they are reading. That or they’re retarded.

I would make it illegal in all cases, except for the life of the mother.

[Recovering_Democrat]

Would love the demos on the 33% who are fine with killing babies in the womb.

[SC DOC]

Early Christian writings (Didache) clearly state that abortion is murder.

[TiGuy22]

It’s that 1/3 that shocks me.

[BipolarBob]

“Thou shalt not kill” is properly understood as thou shalt not murder. And a fuller understanding is to promote life.

[trebb]

The other third are either lying or only looking for out-of-context “excerpts” they can use against others...and claim the Bible backs them up...

The survey is Views about abortion among adults who read scripture at least once a week by parental status

For a lib, the NYSlimes is "scripture," but let's take Pew at their word: the survey is of all faiths, not just readers of the Bible.

You can sort through the geographic dispersion of the survey here but I can't immediately find any larger tables showing the total numbers. However, a quick look shows that the 2014 study surveyed in these states the following number of participants:

North Carolina: 1,022
Georgia 968
DC: 913
New York: 1,966
California: 3,697
Nebraska: 307

And no breakdown in that source for dispersal of participants across these states (DC it's all leftists, anyway). So, for the survey, you've got 1.9mm people from Nebraska represented by one third DC's 671K residents, so Nebraska is underrepresented by a factor of eight.

Typical Pew obfuscation.
