 | | Christian Democrats support all the things that will result in reducing the number of abortions by reducing the demand for abortions: family planning, teen pregnancy prevention and adoption law reform. | | | Wade were Republicans; of the two justices who dissented, one was a Republican, one a Democrat. | | | Christian Democrats want to see a solution to the abortion issue. |

| | Christian Century: Democrats in defeat ponder 'values gap' |
| | On policy, conservatives say the Democrats simply did not have a platform that appealed to churchgoing voters who were galvanized by gay marriage, abortion and faith in the public square. | | | WHEN IT COMES to the Democratic Party's on-again, off-again search for a message that would appeal to religious voters, any metaphor will do: asleep at the wheel, stumbling in a darkened room, a code-blue emergency. | | | Wade decision on abortion rights, predicts the executive director of Americans United for Separation of Church and State. |

| | Many Christians admit they favor the Democrats on every issue except abortion but that abortion outweighs all issues, so they vote Republican. | | | We call on these groups to withdraw their endorsements and for Christians to unite in demanding that Judge Roberts explain his positions on the issues and his prior rulings, before the Senate hands him a lifetime appointment to our highest court. | | | But still the abortion issue drives Christians to the polls, with the false hope that one more Republican elected will end abortion. |

| | thoughts: Christian Republicans vs. Christian Democrats |
| | Christians should focus on the demand for abortion, not the supply of safe abortions. | | | Posted by: Rosalind at October 4, 2004 08:35 AM The Democratic Party is in favor and supports granting two men who orally copulate and sodomize each other the right to adopt children. | | | EVEN if the Republican Christians are right about abortion and gay marriage (their only two issues), these above things far outweigh them. |
