Well aren't all Christian churches fundamentally the same? I mean if you are "pro-choice" and disagree with the Catholic idea of abortion, then you'll probably disagree with the Protestant (many branches/secs) idea of abortion. Right?

Oh, you could join ECUSA, no problem. Many other mainline Prots don't have an anti-abortion stance. . And then you could always be a Unitarian . . .
eta - ECUSA - Episcopal Church U.S.A.

Interesting word choice.
Maybe when it comes to abortion, but Christian churches differ from each other on many other issues, both spiritually and socially.

Many protestant denominations do not take official stances on social issues, and NONE are supposed to promote certain political issues, ballot measures or candidates. This sounds like a violation of separation of church and state to me, which means revocation of 501 c 3 status.

I'll just add this to the list of reasons I'm not supposed to take Communion and then take it anyway. If I start feeling bad, I'll go to confession.
And no, I couldn't find another church I like more. I like my brand of crazy much better than the other kinds.
