520 |a Rates of approval of abortion by liberal and conservative Christian nurses and social workers in Tennessee are analyzed using survey data to investigate hypotheses suggested by Johnson's findings that support for the Republican Party rises with church attendance among conservative Protestants but declines with church attendance among liberals. Our findings suggest that (1) members of liberal Christian denominations are more likely than members of conservative denominations to approve of abortion but, contrary to our predictions, (2) among both conservatives and liberals, frequent church attenders are less likely to approve abortion. These patterns of association remain when other factors related to abortion are statistically controlled. Furthermore, religion is found to be the single most important predictor of attitudes toward abortion among the factors considered.
