They know that all they have to do is tell pappy jesus they are "sorry" and pappy jesus....schmuck that he is....always says "that's fine."
I don't think that is true. They are not more likely to abort, just not less either. It appears that religiosity has 0 effect on whether women get abortions or not.
Belief in sanctity of life just matters for shit, I guess, when it is your own body bearing an unwanted fetus/zygote/baby.
They are a lot less likely to admit it to friends and relatives, though, and also more likely to suffer depression, shame, and even suicide. Which I find extremely sad.
