LifeoftheLay, you may be surprised that there are a lot of pro-life people here, they just disagree with HOW to reduce the number of abortions. Believe it or not, abortion is down under President Obama! Perhaps because of healthcare options, or other programs that help the family. I happen to be one of those that do not impose my beliefs on others in a pluralistic society. We also have freedom of religion, and not everyone agrees with Catholic views, for example a Jewish family, I have read have different opinions on when life begins. If we value freedom of religion in this Country, we need to accept that there are other ways to encourage birth than to change laws. A candidate that supports the family, maternity leave, pre-school programs, healthcare, etc... will ultimately help reduce abortion. Isn't that your goal?
