**“If we can get Catholics to vote like Protestants then we could stop abortion.”**
Then why is it that only Catholics are out praying in front of abortion clinics?
Actions speak louder than words!
That is patently not true.
There are non-Catholic people in my non-Catholic church who protest and pray outside abortion clinics.
There's an evangelical pastor in our area who spent a month in jail for being part of an Operation Rescue protest.
In our area, the only folks I know who have done abortion protesting are non-Catholics.
Catholics do vote pro-abortion and it's not just CINO's. Over the years I worked with many Catholics, many of whom were very dedicated, practicing Catholics, much like that Catholics in these threads claim to be, mass at least once a week and for almost all the special holy days, give stuff up for Lent, meatless Fridays, go to Catholic Bible studies, active in their local churches, one guy Knights of Columbus, etc.... and to a person, they voted liberal/Democratic.
Other non-Catholics (Baptist primarily) confronted them about this and they always had their excuses, the primary ones were that the poor needed to be helped and women had rights and nobody could infringe on them.
Western NY is a very heavily Catholic area (Ukrainian, Polish, Italian, and Hispanic) and is very liberal/Democratic in it's politics (and very corrupt politics at that).
Finding faithful and active Catholics who vote conservative is the exception, not the rule. I don't really care what a few Catholics say strong Catholics SHOULD vote like because I know what most of the DO vote like. I've seen it. Being a strong Catholic is no guarantee of voting conservative. On the contrary, if someone tells me they're Catholic and politics comes up, their political position never surprises me. It's liberal. Count on it.

Salvation that is brilliant!!!! Ansel12 is speechless....I love it.
Catholics deserve much credit for keeping the issue of abortion before the public ... No question they are the prime movers in the pro life movement
But there are protestants that participate in the clinic protests but to say it is only Catholic is technically not true .
