A big difference is that the Protestant vote always goes pro-life, including in 2008, and when getting into various denominations the differences are astounding.

Catholics went 54% pro-abortion, and the second largest American denomination, the Southern Baptists, went about 20% pro-abortion in 2008.

The Protestant vote always goes Republican. You're telling us that Protestants who traditionally vote Republican do so principally because of the Republican candidate's position on abortion?

Is that what you're calling the "pro-life vote"?

Or are you saying that a Protestant who votes Republican because he prefers lower taxes and smaller government is making "a pro-life vote"?

Depends very much on the denomination. Baptists do not vote the same way as Episcopalians. We should call out those denominations which do vote prolife and distinguish them from denominations that do not do so.

Devout, Mass attending Catholics vote for the pro-life candidate and that is not a democrat.

In 1973 the ONLY RELIGION that came out against Roe v Wade
was the Catholic Church. 99% of protestants could have cared less about abortion.
