EWTN/Real Clear Poll: 63% of Catholics Believe ‘Gender is Created by God,’ 56% Say ‘Trans Ideology Conflicts With Church Teaching
(CNS News) -- A new poll of likely Catholic voters found that 82% of Catholics support ending abortion it outright “or imposing various regulations to limit it….” Also, a majority of Catholics polled oppose pro-transgender policy in regard to their children’s sports teams and school bathrooms. Further, a majority of Catholics say they disapprove of President Joe Biden’s job as president.
EWTN News and RealClear Opinion Research released the poll, which is the first in a new series of surveys looking at American Catholics’ voting habits, policy views, and devotional practices. The survey of 1,757 likely Catholic voters was conducted June 15-23.
The poll, which was conducted prior to the Supreme Court overturning Roe V. Wade on June 24, revealed that a plurality (47%-42%) of Catholic voters believed the court should uphold Roe v. Wade. However, oddly, “a solid majority (82%) supported ending abortion outright or imposing various regulations to limit it,” said EWTN/Real Clear Opinion.
On abortion specifically, only 18% said they believed the procedure should be available to a woman at any time during her pregnancy, and only 9% percent of Catholics said “abortion should never be permitted under any circumstance.”
In between, 24% said abortion should be allowed “only during the first three months of a pregnancy,” and 32% of likely Catholic voters said abortion should be allowed “only in cases of rape, incest, or to save the life of the woman.” Another 9% said abortion should be permitted “only to save the life of the woman.”
