520 |a This study considers the methodological difficulties involved in studying abortion behavior and religious preference and uses the conception cohort as a way of handling problems of sampling and comparison. It was hypothesized that Catholic women would have fewer abortions than non-Catholic women according to (1) their proportion in the overall population and (2) their proportion in the pregnant population. Using demographic and medical data collected from hospital records on all abortion patients in the state of Hawaii and all maternity patients during the designated two-month period, a conception cohort was constructed. When the hypothesis was tested using the conception cohort, Catholics were found to have chosen abortion less often than non-Catholic women. Catholic women had a higher rate of pregnancies, but terminated a smaller proportion of these pregnancies by abortion. No difference was found between Catholics and non-Catholics with respect to gestation time and length of time from discovery of pregnancy to abortion.
