Do all Democrats support the killing of unborn babies? Are all those who value the life of all, all Republican?

I'm finding that a bit hard to process.

Obviously, Republicans do not all favor the value of life. Look at George W. Bush who sent American troops to invade Iraq with his lies about Weapons of Mass Destruction and saying Saddam was responsible for 9/11. Over 4,400 American lives were lost and tens of thousands wounded and scarred emotionally and physically for life.

Is it only "liberals" who believe in abortions? Doesn't a "conservative" ever have an abortion? Get real - of course a conservative will get an abortion if they want to stop an unwanted pregnancy. That is as silly as saying there is not such a thing as a conservative gay or lesbian person

But back to ProChoice - if Catholics are such strong supporters of "ProLife", why is it that over 90 percent of Catholic women use birth control? According to the official site of the Catholic church, birth control of any kind is wrong. Obviously, they do not practice what is preached.

I only asked about political party views because all the pro-life and pro-abortion stances on this forum seem to be falling along political partisan lines.

"Pro-life" analogies to war is bogus. Ask about FDR in the same equation. Ask about George Washington. Ask about Abraham Lincoln. Your "brilliant" thought is profoundly............NOT.

"Birth control", is against the teachings of the Catholic Church, but it is not abortion and therefore is irrelevant to this discussion. Birth control prevents the formation of a human being, but it isn't the murder of one.

This is basically an ad for Obama's re-election but is does make birth control an issue in this year's election.

The article above does go into why birth control and the Republicans' stance on it is important.

"I only asked about political party views because all the pro-life and pro-abortion stances on this forum seem to be falling along political partisan lines."

Very interesting about the pro-life and pro-choice stances. While it does seem that most pro-life are Republicans, that most Catholics vote Democrat. I have known some very staunch pro-life friends who never would vote anything but Democrat based on the social issues of the party vs those of the Republicans. Therefore, my question at the top of the thread is answered that a Pro-Choice Republican does have a chance of winning the Presidency.

Obviously, not all Catholics vote Democrat just as all Methodists vote Republican.

Catholics who vote for pro-abortion candidates have their own consciences to rassle.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: You cannot consider yourself a good and observant Christian and support the killing of innocent unborn babies, under any circumstance.

It makes you the worst kind of hypocrite to deny the soul of that developing human being.
