So I sent a letter to my Rep LaHood (R, of course). Response, in part:

Thank you for contacting me regarding pro-choice policies. Your views are important to me as I work to effectively represent you and Illinois’ 18th Congressional District.

As a strong practicing Catholic and the father of three boys with my wife, I firmly believe that we must protect the sanctity of life, and in Congress I will continue to vote to protect life.

I responded: Your religion may inform your opinion, but it should NOT inform the law for those of us (the majority), who do not follow your religion. grrrrrr
