“A big difference is that the Protestant vote always goes pro-life, including in 2008, and when getting into various denominations the differences are astounding.”

Depends very much on the denomination. Baptists do not vote the same way as Episcopalians. We should call out those denominations which do vote prolife and distinguish them from denominations that do not do so.

You are absolutely correct, and people should stop comparing the single denomination Catholic vote with all other churches collectively.

The two largest churches in America are the Catholic, and the Southern Baptist for instance, I imagine that Southern Baptists get tired of their good, pro-life voting being lumped in with other denominations.

It is powerful though, that as incredibly diverse the catch phrase Protestant is, that it still is to the right of Catholics.

As far as calling them out, there are so few of the liberal Protestant church members here at FR, and the few that we do have are fully on board with conservatism, they never defend their churches liberalism, or deny that their denomination votes democrat, if it does.
