Gender, however, does not mark the biggest difference in whether a physician will perform an abortion, per the findings of the self-administered confidential survey which were published in Obstetrics and Gynecology. The biggest difference is religious affiliation:

* 1.2 percent of Evangelical Protestants
* 9 percent of Roman Catholics or Eastern Orthodox
* 10.1 percent of Non-Evangelical Protestants
* 20 percent of Hindus
* 26.5 percent of doctors who said they had no religious affiliation
