I think most Catholic women are pro-choice. [View all]

They are just afraid to identify as such. Because of family pressure, tradition, right-wing husbands and so forth, they don't speak out. You'll never see them in a pro-choice rally. But they believe in and vote pro-choice, at least those who are under 60.

I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic grammer and high school. I'm pro-choice. I still have a lot of friends who who still go to church. I talk with them often. All of my Catholic friends voted for Obama and their major issue was women's reproductive rights, second to the economic issues.

All of them have been on the pill. Most of them have been to Planned Parenthood. None of them could care less what the Pope thinks.

I constantly encourage them to be visibly pro-choice. But that is easy for me to say since I am divorced, have a successful adult daughter and have a steady job.

My parents were so pissed off that I stopped attending church and got much more political (left) after divorce, but it was worth it to me be my own person.

Catholic women vote and most of them vote for choice.
