but I NEVER hear anything about the Christian Left. Whenever the news talks about religious issues, it's always the RW Christians. It's like they're giving the impression that liberals can't be religious. But I think those RW Christians give all of us a bad name IMO, especially Pat Robertson.

I'm against guns but majority of my family are pro. We are split on pro-life and pro-choice as well as gays. But its starting to open the eyes of my GOPper side of the family that, maybe, Pres O really cares.

I 9try) never to use 'their' term, pro-life, but to always use the term anti-choice. I also have learned to frame the argument as one of trusting women to make decisions for their own body or not trusting them. I got a man to say out loud a couple of times, "No, I DON'T trust women" in just such a discussion/
