church"

In a November 27 New York Times article, reporter Timothy Egan claimed: "In
the Rocky Mountain West, where Democrats made their only real gains in last
year's general election, the governors favor abortion rights, but are not
afraid to be seen in church."
In fact, many Democratic politicians who "favor abortion rights" but do not
represent Western states are also "not afraid to be seen" in houses of worship.
Some examples include former President Bill Clinton, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA),
Virginia Gov.-elect Timothy M. Kaine, Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman (D-CT), Sen.
Barack Obama (D-IL), and Sen. Paul S. Sarbanes (D-MD).
