The Pro-Life movement has a strong basis in the Catholic Church. The problem is the Catholic Church is the largest single religious group in the nation. Former Catholics make up the next larger group.

Courting just a few of those votes (the liberal side) can sway elections...

This makes the TRUE leadership of the church [Pope Benedict, Archbishoop Dolan, Archbishop Chaput, Cardinal George) targets of media and liberal political groups...
