Questionable conservative thinking in the United States

On the other side of the picture, atheistic beliefs (do not believe in a god) are 3% in the US as against 18 % in Great Britain and 23 % in France. Atheistic believers in Australia are 22% of the population.

The Pew Research Organisation on July 31, 2018 noted, as would be expected of a nation with high beliefs in the existence of God, that Americans are far more religious than adults in other developed nations. More than half of American adults (55%) say they pray daily, compared with 25% in Canada, 18% in Australia and 6% in Great Britain. (The average European country stands at 22%.). According to the Pew Research Center, approximately three-quarters of white evangelical Protestants – 77% – say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases, while 63% of white Protestants who are not evangelical say abortion should be legal in all or most cases. Interestingly, attitudes of Catholic laity are more narrowly split – 55% favour legal abortion in all or most cases, while 43% say it should be illegal in all or most cases.

The fuss in the US on overturning Roe vs Wade in the US is essentially a religious issue. Similarly in Ireland. A coalition of civil society groups that successfully campaigned to have Ireland's strict ban on abortion repealed wrote in Time magazine May 6, 2022, that Roe v. Wade really set off alarm bells among the extremely conservative, right wing Catholic cabals in Ireland.

As such, the issue of abortion should be left to religious believers. It has nothing to do with law. Or the US Supreme Court.
