	That's the official stance. There are some democrats that are prolife 
and some republicans that are pro-abortion, but as a rule Democrats get 
major funding from groups like Planned Parenthood (the nation's largest 
abortion system and lobby) and Republicans are supported by groups like 
National Right to Life.

	Very Republican issue. Democrats support taxing those who make/have a 
lot of money at very high rates.

	Sounds like it to me.

	Well, consider this: groups like the ACLU are against prayer in 
schools and are pushing for the secularization of schools. Groups like 
Planned Parenthood push for more abortions and resist any attempt to 
restrict abortion in the least. These are liberal groups. The 
democratic party is liberal-to-moderate and is supported by these 
groups.

	On the other hand the Republicans are supported by conservative groups 
(Right to Life, tax reform people, Christian groups, etc.) and is 
moderate-to-conservative. President Bush leans toward the liberal wing 
of the Republican party on a lot of issues, actually: conservative 
groups reject his initiatives that have caused large budget deficits, 
and staunch conservative Republicans generally are a lot more 
isolationist than the President has been.
