Maybe you should define "pro-life" in re: the particular Congresscritter.

Charlie Stenholm of Texas is pro-life, as is Bart Stupak (see another posted article on this very subject, where Stupak says that bishops have refused to shake his hand merely because he's a Democrat).

I would never vote for a Democrat, but just read down the thread.

There's a logical next step in this process, which is to declare that it is mortally sinful to belong to the Democrat Party, since it includes a pro-choice platform in its policies.

Do you think that's where the Church ought to go? Will that win the hearts and minds of Americans in the effort to curb abortion?

That's NOT a logical step, as you well know--but it enhances your rhetorical attack on the few good men who have made life uncomfortable for the pols.

Stenholm is pro-life; he is not a Catholic (or at least I'm stunned to find out that he is). Stupak is pro-life. I stand corrected on an overly broad statement I made: there probably are one or two other pro-life Catholic Dems left. (Maybe a Pennsylvanian or something like that.)

Too many sinkspurs made it possible to completely paint over pro-abortion with the shameful pro-choice euphemism.
