It's way more Evangelical than Catholic. Depending on how you ask the questions somewhere between 40-60% of Catholics support allowing abortion in at least some cases, and that 41% numder are the ones who describe themselves as pro choice. And those numbers are from over a decade ago, who knows where they are now.
Evangelicals aren't really Christians. They don't have any real connection to Christian traditions and their beliefs are, too put it very mildly, weird. The religion was basically made up by uneducated and mostly illiterate people in the mid-late 1800s, and they just read the bible without any real understanding of what it was saying, and then made up their religion based on that. Like imagine a Star Wars fandom, except everyone in the Fandom is Lithuanian and their version of Star Wars was translated in to Lithuanian from Chinese bootlegs.
The Catholics traditionally oppose abortion not out of concern for the fetus, but rather because Catholicism strictly emphasizes that you're only allowed to have sex within marriage for the purpose of having children, and obviously if you're having an abortion you're not having Children. But American Catholics, um, have a contentious relationship with the Pope on the best of days. And for many of them the Abortion issue is important, but it's just one of a lot of things which they don't practice and don't agree with the pope.. Some Evangelical brainworms about "Life beginning at conception" have slipped in, despite being literal heresy, but there's a lot of factional strife among Catholics on this while 80%+ of Evangelicals are strictly anti-abortion.
According to this article Catholics are like 56% in favor, and I bet that number would go up if the general populace knew that "Partial birth abortion" is a made up propaganda term and abortions are never carried out in the third trimester unless the fetus is either non-viable or the patients life is in danger.

Jesus, I underestimated Catholics big time.
Yeah Evangelicals aren't...

I guess growing up with virulently anti-abortion grandparents skewed me
