Two-thirds of Catholics say Roe v. Wade should not be overturned Would you like to see the Supreme Court completely overturn the Roe v. Wade decision, or Supreme not? Note: Survey res pondents could be from any religious group or no religious group,
Like U.S. adults overall, most Catholics said in the 2019 survey that they oppose overturning Roe v. Wade. Roughly two-thirds of Catholics (68%) said they do not want the Supreme Court to completely overturn the landmark decision, while almost three-in-ten (28%) said the ruling should be overturned. This gap was almost identical to the division in the U.S. public overall (70% vs. 28%). But opinions varied widely by religious affiliation: 89% of unaffiliated Americans said Roe v. Wade should remain in place, compared with only 35% of White evangelical Protestants.
