The survey of more than 1,000 Catholic registered voters also found that 67 percent of Catholic voters don’t support employers denying birth control coverage to employees. Additionally, 50 percent support physician-assisted suicide, 70 percent support stem cell research and 84 percent support legal abortion in some cases.

The survey cited in the report was released by progressive Catholic advocacy groups who announced their findings during a press conference on Capitol Hill.
