I have only one question

Trials of a Catholic "Obamacon"

Why, if conservative politicians are so pro-life, and as they have held power in the U.S. and Canada and other countries for some time now, do none of them change the laws around abortion and the like?

That's the question. The easy answer is that it's a political hot potato and none of them are going to alienate a large number of their possible supporters by doing anything about it. It would be political suicide. Don't expect too much change, no matter what they say. The only reason the Catholic conservatives can receive Communion in the Catholic Church is that they spout the right (wing) line and say they support the proper position, not because they really can or will do anything to change the situation. It's all politics. And it's hypocritical as well.
