My other point is that there are A LOT of Catholics who ONLY vote GOP in presidential elections and they ONLY do this based on abortion. If the pro-life platform is abandoned either outright or in essence many will no longer have any reason to vote GOP.
Remember that prior to voting for Reagan in 1980 (and this was the first time that the pro-life platform was included), the majority of the Catholic vote had gone to the ‘Rats since FDR (the only real exception was Nixon’s landslide in 1972). Clinton and GWB won because of the Catholic vote.
What percentage is that and will it make a difference in the election?
