Some Catholics who vote for Democratic candidates incorrectly assume those candidates are pro-life.
No it's not. Republicans are afraid of mentioning abortion in ANY context in Catholic heavy states. Also, only a generation ago a lot of these folks HAD stellar pro-life voting records. Mike Madigan and Richie Daley Jr. of IL, for example. Also, a lot of the Republicans in these states decide to go "moderate on social issues", which historically means pro-abort and now includes changing the dictionary to appease sexual deviants.

Considering I hear it very often, no it isn’t.
Usually pro life is defined as anti death penalty, anti gun, pro illegal immigrants (Jesus and Mary were illegal immigrants you know!) and of course, pro infanticide.
See, the others outweigh infanticide, so there.
The American Catholics have been Democrats for so long, their moral compass comes from their party, not their faith.
To be fair, the SBC is going the same way with the GOP. That isn’t good.
