Even on abortion, long a bedrock issue for churchgoers, there are signs that some Mormon women are having second thoughts. The church officially opposes abortion, except in cases of rape, incest or to save the life of the mother, but some Mormon women said the new abortion restrictions that some states passed after the overturning of Roe v. Wade ran contrary to their religious principles that emphasize autonomy and agency. (Earlier this year, Arizona’s Supreme Court reinstated a near-total ban on abortion, before the State Legislature repealed it, reverting to a 15-week restriction.)

Allison Jones, a photographer who lives in Gilbert, east of Phoenix, said she thought a wave of Mormon women would cast their votes for Ms. Harris this November — silently — while their husbands would continue to support Mr. Trump.
