Curisosity got the better part of me and I had to find out 'how many pro-life Democrats are there?' By one count there are 35 pro-life Democrats in the house. See this link if you are curious.

This also begged the question, 'How many pro-choice Republicans are there?' One Gallup Poll said that 30% Republicans are pro-choice. Let's see, that is about 1 in 3 Republicans being pro-choice. See this link below:

These sources that I have listed are by no means final. But if this true then it forces us to ask some real hard question come any election such as: Are the Party differences real or just aparent? What is the real agenda of each political party? If the Republican Party is the Conservative Party, then what are they conserving? Most importantly, why are Christians who are usually pro-life stand by the Republican Party so much when it has so many pro-choice canidates?
It is time to trash all assumptions about politics folks. Seriously study the 2 parties, and even seriously consider voting for third party canidates.
