LOL, no wonder Catholics vote proabortion democrat, look at the gymnastics that even the supposed conservative Catholics go through to try and defend them and to hide that proabortion voting from discussion and public view, even on a conservative political site.

Allow me to provide a slightly exaggerated example of what NKP_Vet is doing to show the fallacy of such thinking:

Let's say some vote existed in London whereby...
...(a) the turnout was 100%...
...and (b) those who claimed to be Christian (less than 4 million) voted on a pure 100% Christian faith basis -- and those who didn't claim to be Christian (more than 4 million) all voted the exact opposite.

Hence, (c) to be clear...this would mean that because the non-Christians are greater than the Christians in London...the Christians would be on the losing side of whatever vote occurred. Let's say such a moral measure died at the polls.

But then some Londoner comes along and wants to defend ALL of London as to how they voted.

So when challenged by someone ... why couldn't your 8+ million city pass this measure when this other 5-million city easily passed it 75-25%??? (3.75 million for; 1.25 million against)

The Londoner's answer?

Hey, we had MORE Londoners vote for the measure (over 3.9 million) than your city did!

(Oh, and never mind about those other "Londoners" who betrayed their fellow citizens by voting against said XYZ measure)
