“Southern Baptists vote 80% pro-life and pro-marriage, and anti-liberal.”
Roman Catholics vote 54% for Obama’s abortion, gay marriage, and anti-conservatism.
and the problem is the Southern Baptists?”

Your statistics? The Baptist percentage on life is about Abortion. Protestants caved in 1930, going against God, approving contraception.
The Pill came on the market in the mid 1960s. The question is being asked now? Reverend Mohler has no answers.

Can Christians use Birth Control?
June 6, 2012
“Therefore, Christians may make careful and discriminating use of proper technologies, but must never buy into the contraceptive mentality. We can never see children as problems to be avoided, but always as gifts to be welcomed and received.
For evangelicals, much work remains to be done. We must build and nurture a new tradition of moral theology, drawn from Holy Scripture and enriched by the theological heritage of the church. Until we do, many evangelical couples will not even know where to begin the process of thinking about birth control in a fully Christian frame. It is high time evangelicals answered this call.”

Who do we need to fix?
Another way of looking at this is...
Children raised in a Southern Baptist home are more likely to vote 80% pro life, pro marriage and anti liberal.
Children raised Catholic are more likely to vote 54% for Obama’s abortion, gay marriage, and anti-conservatism.
Simple math would suggest that for 1000 babies raised Catholic, 540 will vote in line with Obama and the Dems. Meanwhile, if 500 babies are raised SBs, 400 will vote pro life, pro marriage and anti liberal.
Now granted, we can look at these numbers and say that SBs should give up contraceptives and have more kids.
Maybe instead of worrying about beating Protestants up about contraception, Catholics should worry more about raising their kids to live their lives more inline with complete Biblical teaching, so that they'd be less inclined to vote anti life stands as adults, and match the 80% voting record of SBs.
Christians can use birth control, just as we can use soap to avoid the natural growth of bacteria on our bodies.
