or homophobic is not the same thing as being anti-abortion.

one is stereotyping a group of people for nothing other than who they are. the other is saying that an individual doesn't believe abortion is the answer to an unwanted pregnancy.

i'm pro-choice, but I think it'd be great if there were fewer abortions. in fact, during the 1990s, the pro-choice clinton/gore team nonetheless oversaw a dramatic drop in abortions, because they provided more education to women, birth control was available and encouraged, etc.

I agree with Casey that even if you are against abortion, that decision is not in a vacuum. you have to providing support for women, so that if they keep the baby they can have proper, insured hospital care, as well as proper medication/nourishment. you can't force a woman to have a baby and then keep her impoverished after the child is born.

no one is saying that being christian and anti-abortion go together. But the stats don't lie. for any number of reasons, more americans are against the status quo than are for it.
