Analysis and Conclusions
 Analysis:
 1.Out of 60 respondents, 85% of which are against abortion.
 2. Religion influenced the perceptions of the respondents towards
abortion. Majority of the respondents are Roman Catholics.
 3. Majority of the respondents do not view contraceptives as a pro-
abortion, thus they are willing to support the reproductive bill.


 Conclusions:
 Among the twenty students respondent, no one were pro-
abortion. Most of them were Roman Catholics. Thus, religion
influences their belief or perception towards abortion. Although, the
Roman Catholic Church says that contraceptives are pro-abortion,
yet students believe that it is not. Thus, we can say that religion
does not necessarily influence the respondents.
