This is one reason why abortion is rooted deep in American soil.
United Methodist Church
While the United Methodist Church opposes abortion, it affirms that it is “equally bound to respect the sacredness of the life and well-being of the mother and the unborn child.” The church sanctions “the legal option of abortion under proper medical procedures” but rejects abortion as a method of gender selection or birth control and stresses that those considering abortions should prayerfully seek guidance from their doctors, families and ministers. “We recognize tragic conflicts of life with life that may justify abortion, and in such cases we support the legal option of abortion under proper medical procedures by certified medical Providers.” http://www.umc.org/what-we-believe/the-nurturing-community
The Episcopal Church has maintained its “unequivocal opposition to any legislation on the part of the national or state governments which would abridge or deny the right of individuals to reach informed decisions [about the termination of pregnancy] and to act upon them.” https://www.episcopalchurch.org/posts/ogr/summary-general-convention-resolutions-abortion-and-womens-reproductive-health
American Baptists: Recognizing this gift of life, we find ourselves struggling with the painful and difficult issue of abortion. Genuine diversity of opinion threatens the unity of our fellowship, but the nature of the covenant demands mutual love and respect. Consequently, we acknowledge the freedom of each individual to advocate for a public policy on abortion that reflects his or her beliefs. https://www.abc-usa.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Abortion-and-Ministry-in-the-Local-Church.pdf
Evangelical Lutheran Church in America: The official position of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America states that “abortion prior to viability [of a fetus] should not be prohibited by law or by lack of public funding” but that abortion after the point of fetal viability should be prohibited except when the life of a mother is threatened or when fetal abnormalities pose a fatal threat to a newborn. https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod: The Lutheran Church-Missouri Synod states that “[s]ince abortion takes a human life, it is not a moral option except to prevent the death of … the mother.” https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.)
In 2006, the Presbyterian Church’s national governing body, the General Assembly, reaffirmed its belief that the termination of a pregnancy is a personal decision. While the church disapproves of abortion as a means of birth control or as a method of convenience, it seeks “to maintain within its fellowship those who, on the basis of a study of Scripture and prayerful decision, come to diverse conclusions and actions” on the issue. https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
Southern Baptist Convention
In a 1996 resolution on partial-birth abortion, the Southern Baptist Convention reaffirmed its opposition to abortion, stating that “all human life is a sacred gift from our sovereign God and therefore … all abortions, except in those very rare cases where the life of the mother is clearly in danger, are wrong.” https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations: Beginning in 1963, the Unitarian Universalist Association of Congregations passed a series of resolutions to support “the right to choose contraception and abortion as a legitimate expression of our constitutional rights.” https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
United Church of Christ
The United Church of Christ is a firm advocate of reproductive rights, including the right to a safe abortion. https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Non-Christian): The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints teaches that “elective abortion for personal or social convenience is contrary to the will and the commandments of God.” Therefore, the church says, any facilitation of or support for this kind of abortion warrants excommunication from the church. However, the church believes that certain circumstances can justify abortion, such as a pregnancy that threatens the life of the mother or that has come about as the result of rape or incest. https://www.pewforum.org/2013/01/16/religious-groups-official-positions-on-abortion/
Jehovah’s Witnesses (Non-Christian): are completely pro-life. https://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/g19930522/the-abortion-dilemma/
