Well, religion has been mostly used to support slavery, in spite of a small minority. But the influence of religion on society has always been negligeable -- societies shape religions, not the inverse.
That said, you're misunderstanding me if you think I support abortion. I don't like it much than you. But the point where I'm against anti-abortionists is that I think that repression is not going to solve the problem -- the solution to reduce the number of abortions down to 0.001 is, in my opinion, orphanages, possibility of anonymous births even for minors, promotion of contraceptives, etc.
