In this election, record numbers of Catholics and young Evangelicals, the nation's traditional pro-life base, voted in unexpected ways. They voted to elect our second pro-choice President. Rather than induce reflection in staunch pro-life groups, they have instead reacted with denial and yet more extremism.

The American Civil Liberties Union, NARAL Pro-Choice America, National Women's Law Center, Planned Parenthood Action Fund and others today released a survey showing that knowledge of Barack Obama's and Joe Biden's pro-choice positions tended to increase a voter's likelihood of supporting the ticket.

The Boston Globe reports that there must be a lot of disappointed Catholic bishops with the election of Barack Obama. But Catholic voters helped elect Obama, with a 54% majority, despite Obama's strong record on reproductive health and rights. And the Catholic far right has a plan.

President-elect Obama envisions a society that allows Americans to move past the division that has defined a generation of the most bitter politics, division that brought our government to a stalemate.

Listen to this to take a break from the horse race coverage. An interview with the host of "Issues For Your Tissues", domestic terrorism, and an advertising round-up.

Politico reports that white weekly churchgoers aren't supporting Obama any more than other Democrats. Richard Land and Tony Perkins attribute the "God gap" to abortion. Could it be because of misinformation?
. . . . .
The Obama Campaign has trumpeted Sen. Joe Biden's work as sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act. But many people may not know that Biden is again working for women worldwide on the International Violence Against Women Act.
. . . . .
Progressive Catholic electoral activity is yet another example of the dangers of mixing politics and faith.

With just six days to go, I think far-right social conservatives are running out of names to call their opponents, but don't underestimate the power of nasty.
