IT WAS FOUND THAT ROMAN CATHOLICISM AND FUNDAMENTALIST PROTESTANTISM AND JUDAISM CONTRIBUTED TO THE FUNCTION ESTIMATION, WHILE "MAINSTREAM" PROTESTANTISM AND JUDIASM CONTRIBUTED IN THE FUNCTION INDEPENDENT OF RELIGIOUS COMMITMENT. MEMBERSHIP IN EITHER DENOMINATION WAS PREDICTIVE OF A SUPPORTIVE ATTITUDE TOWARD ABORTION. PERSONS OF THE MORE "EXTREME" ATTITUDE DIMENSIONS WERE MORE EASILY CLASSIFIED THAN THOSE IN THE MIDDLE. THOSE WHO SUPPORT ABORTION PRIMARILY TO PROTECT THE HEALTH OF THE MOTHER WERE THE MOST DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY. POSSIBLE REASONS FOR THE LACK OF COHESION AMONG THE ENTIRE SAMPLE INCLUDE THE LACK OF SALIENCY OF ABORTION AS A POLITICAL AND SOCIAL ISSUE IN AMERICAN, AND THE COMPLEXITY OF ABORTION AS AN ATTITUDE DIMENSION.
