“Yeah, if only we could do something to make the majority of the members of the Catholic denomination quit voting for abortion and gay marriage”

Horsesh*t. The total number of Catholics that voted for Romney dwarf ANY bible-thumping protestant faith.

Without Catholics there would be no pro-life movement.

Catholics also founded the National Right to Life Committee,
which is the oldest and the largest national pro-life organization in the United States with affiliates in all 50 states and over 3,000 local chapters nationwide.

http://www.nrlpac.org/about_us.htm

National Right to Life Political Action Committee (NRL PAC) is the largest and most effective pro-life political action committee in the country and has been for more than 32 years.

NRL PAC‘s charge is straightforward: to actively support electable pro-life candidates for federal office who will work to further the goals of the right to life movement, focusing on the most competitive races in the nation.

The National Right to Life PAC is held in such high esteem for one simple reason: its capacity to deliver votes to elect pro-life men and women to Congress. Since its inception in 1980, the help of NRL PAC has meant a consistent advantage for pro-life candidates over pro-abortion
Cruz Sen. Ted Cruz

In 2012, 80% of the 290 federal candidates endorsed by National Right to Life PAC won their elections. Of those 290, NRL PAC actively focused in 99 of the most competitive federal races. Despite being vastly outspent by pro-abortion groups, 57 of these 99 candidates supported by NRL PAC won.

What a bizarre way to defend the pro-abortion voters.

The pro-abortion left owns the vote of most of the members of the Catholic denomination and is importing them by the millions, yet we pro-life conservatives have to listen to their fiercest defenders and endure all their nasty attacks and cussing.

We need to end this growth of Catholic voters, or we lose everything, (I mean of course everything that pro-life conservatives care about for any of those here that support the importation of more lefty, pro-abortion voting Catholics).

Given the regularity of attacks against Catholicism, I recently looked at election data similar to what you posted. There’s no data to justify the general hostility.

So you don’t think it is a problem that the catholic vote does and almost always has, been a democrat vote, and that we are importing millions of new Catholic voters every year, ever since the democrats changed the immigration laws to do just that in 1965?

The left is depending on Catholics to put them over the top permanently, and you don’t see that as a problem for conservatives?

Lol, of course I meant importing masses of new Catholics every year, and that the total since the democrats passed the JFK law in 1965 is in the tens of millions, counting the millions of Catholic immigrants and their resulting Catholic families.

Baloney. You can't prove that and your assertion is not a fact.

The Catholic church does not own the pro-life movement any more than it owns the Bible, despite the claims of it being so.

Your dimwitted statement proves you are totally clueless about abortion and about the pro-life movement in America. I’m not wasting my time posting anything else to “prove” Catholics stood alone in trying to protect human life. I post the links and you refuse to read them.

Catholics started the pro-life movement before and after Row v. Wade. Protestants by and large went along with Roe v. Wade.

I have never in my life seen anyone that harbors such hatred for another faith like you do for Catholicism. It’s not healthy. You might want to seek some help for your anger.

Never once have you ever said anything favorable about Catholics. Only irrational rants.

There is no doubt if I posted an article on Mother Teresa and what a great Christian she was and all the good she did for humanity, you would reply and say she was a overrated and should have saved more babies. But probably you would have just ignored the post. If it means saying anything good about Catholics that is not coming from you.
