You're the one who made an absolute, unqualified statement...to wit:

"Catholics vote majority pro-abortion left, and Protestants always vote pro-life right."

You're the one who built a strawman that can be dismantled with the citation of a singular exception...don't be upset when somebody does it. You could have just as easily said, "...many Catholics...most protestants..." and had a better argument, but I suspect that stating those qualifications and recognizing the exceptions would not have served your purposes as well.

“Catholics vote majority pro-abortion left, and Protestants always vote pro-life right.”

That is a fact, the majority of the Catholic vote has almost always been liberal, they have only voted Republican fives times and a disputed, possible 6th time in 1956. Obama, Al Gore, Bill Clinton twice, Jimmy Carter in 1976, all carried the Catholic vote.

The Protestants have only voted majority Democrat in 1932, 1936, and 1964.
