...According to the USCCB, the five most Catholic states, in population, are: Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut. According to the American Life League, the states with the most pro-life legislation (i.e., inhibiting abortion in various ways) are: Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Texas. This is a shocker. In short, there is no Catholic political impact in support of life in those states reportedly having the most Catholics.

“Oklahoma, Louisiana, Pennsylvania, Arkansas and Texas”
Protestants dwarf Catholics in these states. Your remark makes no sense. The point I was trying to make is LIBERAL Catholics, i.e., those that do not follow the faith live in the NE. These lib Catholic include most of the politicians in the state.
Do away with the liberal Catholics in this country and the ones that follow the faith still outnumber any protestant faith in the land.
Catholics founded the pro-life movement in this country. After Roe v. Wade almost all the protestant faiths in the country went along with abortion on demand. I am glad some finally came around, but after Roe v. Wade, it was mainly Catholics that fought against abortion. Rep Chris Smith is the most ardent pro-life defender in the US Congress. He has been fighting the good fight for the last 34 years.
