When it comes to the debate over abortion, which side you fall on can depend on a lot of

factors, and a big factor for a lot of people is their faith.

Jewish, Buddhist, Unitarian, and non-religious Americans express some of the strongest support

for abortion rights in surveys.

Well, some of the strongest support for measures that limit access to abortion tends to come

from Americans who identify as evangelicals.

Still, within any faith, there can be a wide variety of views regarding this issue.

Maryam Mona Lisa Garavi is Muslim, and she lives in New York City.

After the Supreme Court decision last year that ended the constitutional right to an abortion,

she was struck by some of the news coverage that she saw.

I saw footage in the news notably in Florida and Texas where Jewish women at protests were

openly saying that this decision hinders our right to practice as our faith allows us to.

Garavi went to see her local email, wanting to start a conversation.

And we talked about personal things, and I said, my heart is really heavy right now.

Where are the conversations happening around scotus?

And he mentioned to me that's very important and very relevant, and it should happen.

And I never heard back and I didn't really press the issue.

Garavi says a lot of people in her communities seem to be avoiding the conversation.

And that's one reason I myself started provoking conversations in my own circles, in my family

even, throwing darts against the wall and saying, hey, do Muslims even know their own faith.

After this, within Islam, there is a great diversity of thought about abortion.

We'll hear more about some of those views just ahead.
