If people who object to abortion span Christian. non-Christian, agnostic and atheists, then it is not a religious issue. At all.
Some Christians object to raising animals for meat. So do some non-Christians, atheists and agnostics. Is it fair to say that this is a religious issue?
Party polarization on abortion started in the 1970s
In the 1970s, politicians’ views on abortion didn’t break down along neat party lines. While Republican President Gerald Ford opposed Roe v. Wade, first lady Betty Ford was an abortion-rights supporter and Ford’s vice president Nelson Rockefeller presided over the repeal of abortion restrictions in New York, as Linda Greenhouse and Reva B. Siegel explained in their book Before Roe v. Wade. In Congress, Republicans voted against abortion at about the same rate as Democrats.

”That didn’t start to change until the ’70s. During his 1972 presidential campaign, Republican Richard Nixon began staking out anti-abortion positions as part of a strategy to appeal to Catholic voters and other social conservatives. After Nixon won the election and a majority of Catholic votes, Republican strategists began using the same tactics in Congress, as well as forging coalitions with evangelical groups around opposition to abortion.
The shift to opposing abortion rights was part of a larger effort to paint the Republican Party as pro-family in a way that would help mobilize socially conservative voters, according to Greenhouse and Siegel.”
Of course there were always some religion influence and it came in waves, I always felt Newt was was a big part of fixing it into modern partisanship.

Interestingly, many Jewish Americans don’t see abortion as a religious issue at all. In Judaism a fetus is a part of the woman’s body up until labor.
... and yet many Jews are vehemently against abortion. Which just shows further that it is not a religious issue.
This is not about abortion. It's about a state's right to make their own laws that don't violate The Constitution. Pay attention.
