The driving force behind the anti-abortion movement is the Catholic Church

34. the fundies do most of the anti-abortion voting, but you are right

it's the catholic church that has been pulling the strings here for a looong time.
the knights of columbus had a big meeting hall in my hometown. it had a huge sign out front back in the 70's. that sign they all used, w a baby and a graph of a heartbeat.
tho my friends and i threw paint balloons at it on the regular, it was still there some 20 years later, which is the last time i went by there. building has likely been sold/demolished by now.

the rank and file of american catholics might be pro-choice. but the clergy and the powerful men attached to it are absolutely the problem.
not that i expect the church to act like a democracy, but if you are gonna get out there and lobby a democratic govt based on how many people are behind you, they should actually agree w you.
