Er, people in "other religions" can't vote "pro-life". Smiley

Other Religion - Pro-Choice (the first one)

My mistake, though I assume everyone will know that the second option meant that.

Basically a protestant who is not an evangelical or fundamentalist. This includes me, although ironically, my denomination has evangelical in the name (it is not an evangelical church however and is by far the most liberal branch of Lutheranism)

so I voted mainline Protestant - pro-choice.

Uh, last time I checked you were claiming to be a Christian.

I am, but none of those fit me, and there was no pro-life option on the 'Other Religion' choices

unless you're a Mormon or Jehova's Witness or something, you have to fall under either Catholic, mainline Protestant or evangelical Protestant.

Mainline protestants typically include the following: Lutheran (sometimes just the ELCA), Methodist, Episcopal, American Baptist, Congregational, Reformed Church, United Church of Christ, Presbyterian, Friends (Quakers), Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and other similar denominations.

I'm a CINO because I do not agree with this curren pope. He is far to liberal for my tastes as a Catholic. But I voted Catholic/Against murder. The only real answer for a Christian.

Amazingly I like this pope.  I disagree with the anti-choice part though.  Thanks for admitting youre a CINO as am I in other respects.

Mainline Protestant - Pro-Life; however, I do accept that there are circumstances when abortion is necessary but I don't really think it should be given on request

Catholic / Pro-Life.

While each person has the right to decide for themself, I don't see how one could not be Pro-Life and still be in good standing with the Catholic Church.

I'm not a mainline protestant, but I object to the label evangelical and I'm pro-life.

I'm not sure whether I'm evangelical or mainline, really. I consider myself Low Church (evangelical wing) of England so I guess in the US I would be Episcopalian, which is probably regarded as mainline Protestant (?)

Those with no religion are 90% (9-1) pro-choice.

Those with some religion are 56% (10-8) pro-life.

It would be 10-3 just counting Christians.
