A recent pol lby Christianet asked, "Would you elect a Pro-Life Democrat for president?" Many voters wondered if such a person really exists. As one person commented, "A Pro-Life Democrat is an oxymoron." Bill Cooper, President of ChristiaNet, stated, "If the Democratic Party wants to appeal to moral values, they should start with a pro-life stance."
Out of 900 participants, 43% said they would vote for a Democrat that protects the unborn child. Many in this group felt "abortion is murder" and even a Democrat would be worthy of their vote. Others expressed discontentment with both party's candidates and think "Christian values are more important than party affiliations." While others stated, they were Democrats and always vote for their party's candidate. On the other hand, others selected "Yes" if the Republican candidate was Pro-Choice.
Thirty percent of respondents polled selected not to elect a Pro-Life Democrat. Most participants in this group stated they would base their decision on more than just this one issue and since the other Democratic Party issues tend to be against Christian values, they had to select "No."
The remaining twenty-seven percent chose "Unsure." The concerns of this group closely reflected those that voted "No". With comments such as "I must know his stance on the other issues" or "I'd be suspicious of election-time rhetoric from an otherwise liberal party."

We definitely need more pro-life Democrats.
...and pro-economic growth Democrats.
...and pro-personal responsibility Democrats.
...and pro-America Democrats.
...and pro-free market Democrats.
...and pro-free speech Democrats.
...and pro-honesty-in-science Democrats.
...and pro-lower-taxes Democrats.
Man, this could get to be a VERY long list.
Check out the Democrats For Life of America website at www.democratsforlife.org to get a real education on pro-life democrats. These guys should be commended for their boldness and sincerity against tough opposition. Unlike the republicans, they have nothing to gain but a clear conscience and a lot of political greif.
