Not all of them!
The list of U. S. bishops who have spoken out on the priority of the life issues in this election is now over 100. The list now contains 70 individual bishops and three joint statements.
I would like to continue updating this list until the day of the election. I have tried to incorporate all the comments thus far. If I dd not get them all, I apologize. (For a few of the suggestions, I could not find a suitable link.)
Please continue using the comments section to let us know what bishop is not on this list who should be. This would include any bishop who has individually, or jointly, published a statement about this election pointing out the primacy of the life issues.
Thank you for your help.

Both Catholics and Protestants have large groups who claim to be members but have not entered a church in years. I suspect very few of those who attend either church supported this guy.

You'd be surprised at the number of so-called Christians who go to church every Sunday, who volunteer at Church, who teach Sunday school who voted for Obama because they thought he was a "good man".
The problem is that America has been so desensitized to the issue of abortion, and we have sat idly by while an entire generation of Americans have been systematically slaughtered in innocuous little abortuaries in strip malls and office buildings that we no longer consider it a "sin".
I'd venture to guess that there is no real difference between number of Catholics and Protestants who go to church every Sunday and who voted for Obama and the Catholics and Protestants who rarely go to Church who voted for Obama. It's about 50/50.
Welcome to Laodicea:
And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: (Revelation 3:14-17 KJV)

We will have to disagree on that one. I attend the C of God and I really doubt there was more than one maybe two at the most who voted for this guy.

You take that church and your church together and its about 50/50.

Ummm I just talked to my mom who goes to Mass daily, gives Communion in the hospital, counts money etc... for the Church. Her 5 friends who do the same voted for Obama as well as a several priest and nuns of the Parish.
My Evangelical father-in-law who is in Church twice a week probably voted for Obama. His parents were hit hard during the depression and has blamed Repubs because of that.
Church going Christians voting for dems is a reality all in the name of social justice (Their excuse).

How many Protestants voted for him?
None.
Only faux-Protestants voted for him.

Show me just one Catholic bishop who will speak up against coveting your neighbors goods. That is why Catholics ignored the Bishops on abortion. They know abortion is wrong but overlooked the Dems on that point because those same politicians pandered to their covetousness. Same for protestants and evangelical pastors, leaders and activists. American politics and government at all levels is driven by government-mediated coveting. Until the Church takes a stand against this we can expect to sink deeper and deeper into socialism and, oh yeah, abortion. I think your post is the wisest one that I've received in the last two days. There are nine other commandments besides "you shall not kill", and I don't think I've heard a single sermon on the other nine in this last election cycle.

To: Alex Murphy
We as a country don’t believe in sin,therefore abortion and homosexuality is ok in a sinless world. We need preachers like John the Baptist!!!! And we know how Jesus felt about him. 50 million dead children shows a society that has lost the truth of mercy. Remember when right after 911 people were all going to church,praying and singing gospel songs? They were afraid and were grieving but that is all over now.The gift of the fear of the Lord is truly a grace filled gift of love of the Lord above all else especially of self.And I personally believe we are going to be shown fear and grieving again. God have mercy on us all.

The problem is that America has been so desensitized to the issue of abortion, and we have sat idly by while an entire generation of Americans have been systematically slaughtered in innocuous little abortuaries in strip malls and office buildings that we no longer consider it a "sin".So many churches falsely preach that "the pill" is permissible, completely unaware--or denying--that "the pill" works as an abortifacient a significant percent of the time.
