Bart Stupak (Democrat of Michigan) has achieved a certain notoriety: his amendment to the House HC reform bill prohibited federal funds for abortion. Some weeks back the New York Times published a profile of him. I found his self-description as a Catholic and Democrat interesting and familiar."Mr. Stupak says his stand is a straightforward matter of Roman Catholic faith, but it also seems like the result of a long, slow burn. As dinner progressed, the congressman described years of feeling ignored, slighted or marginalized by his party for his anti-abortion views.Were members without a party, he said. 'Democrats are mad at you, and Republicans dont trust you.' http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/07/us/politics/07stupak.html?scp=1&sq=stupak&st=cseHow much are Catholic and Democratic voters affected by the same experience?
