nearly nine in ten American Catholics say that they don't feel the need to obey Church teachings on moral issues like abortion and birth control.

You would get a higher percentage if the question didn't mention abortion, such as:

Do you feel the need to obey Church teachings on birth control?

(Or contraception rather than birth control, if you believe that the responders might equate birth control with abortion).

I don't know for sure what the real percent is, but it doesn't matter much to me. If 99.99% are fine with using contraception*, then they can also pay for it themselves.

* which BTW I also don't have a problem with, also its a term I'm using in light of the distinction between contraception and birth control which you made in another post, some would be fine with contraception, but not with birth control post conception, the Catholic Church, would not, but would find the later more objectionable)
