The Episcopal Church, United Methodist Church, Presbyterian Church, and Judaism are a few of the many religious groups that support legal abortion.
“What we see represented by what I would call ‘white Christian nationalists’ on this issue is actually a fringe belief. It is so overrepresented that people start conflating the two, when in reality the majority of people of faith support legal abortion,” Zeh told Healthline.
Zeh said the majority of people in the United States, including those who practice faith traditions, support legal abortion.
A 2022 Pew survey found that about 66 percent of Black Protestants and 60 percent of white Protestants who are not evangelical believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Additionally, 56 percent of Catholics say they think abortion should be legal in all or most cases.

Does Jewish law state that life begins at conception? No, life does not begin at
conception under Jewish law. Sources in the Talmud note that the fetus is “mere water”
before 40 days of gestation. Following this period, the fetus is considered a physical part of
the pregnant individual’s body, not yet having life of its own or independent rights. The fetus
is not viewed as separate from the parent’s body until birth begins and the first breath of
oxygen into the lungs allows the soul to enter the body.
Does Jewish law assert that it is possible to murder a fetus? No, Jewish law does not
consider a fetus to be alive. The Torah, Exodus 21:22-23, recounts a story of two men who
are fighting and injure a pregnant woman, resulting in her subsequent miscarriage. The verse
explains that if the only harm done is the miscarriage, then the perpetrator must pay a fine.
However, if the pregnant person is gravely injured, the penalty shall be a life for a life as in
other homicides. The common rabbinical interpretation of this verse is that the men did not
commit murder and that the fetus is not a person. The primary concern is the well-being of
the person who was injured.
