Now if you're trying to pin the Christian movement on Republicans, perhaps it'd be best to remember that not only do most Americans (Republican and Democrat) hold consensus views on gay marriage, but that Christian voting bloc belonged to Democrats through Carter and voted alongside Reagan; that same movement is having doubts about the Republican leadership currently.

But the DoMA was passed due to pressure from the Republican party, and Republican leadership has made it part of their agenda. Also, didn't the president of the DC area Republican chapter step down after his delegate papers would not be certified because he was gay? I think I read that somewhere.
I wouldn't say the Democratic platform is pro-abortion - it's pro-choice. there's a huge difference, IMO.
