And they also go to church more often than I do.

(Spoken as a person who was raised Catholic, but not so much any more.) My point is that Catholic voters in the US are not a monolithic voting block, by any stretch. If anything most of the Catholics my age and younger are in favor of abortions being legal and safe to all women who need them, but maybe they themselves wouldn't get one.
