Democrats are having problems with their Catholic members over the abortion issue- as most people know the Catholic faith teaches pro-life. A health care bill is being reviewed and the Democrats are worried that if they lean towards pro-life, they may lose thousands of Catholic votes (apparently Catholics are usually swing voters) and the Democratic Party does not know how the Catholics will react.
I am actually a Catholic and I am proud to say I am pro- choice. I think that a female should be allowed to have the choice of whether to get an abortion or not. She should have control over her own body.
I also think that the Democrats have nothing to worry about because traditionally the Democratic party has also been pro-choice and I am sure that Catholics know this. I think that Catholics may base their votes on things other than the abortion debate. It may depend on the overall opinions of the Democratic party that may make the Catholic swing voters vote a certain way.
