The latest polls show that over 90% of African Americans support Obama. Some of that 90% must be Christians...I just want to know how they justify voting for a pro choice candidate???

In your limited world, all Christians should be anti choice? I assume you think they should be anti gay as well?
it's not a limited world, it's a christians world. it's not my world, but people who follow the bible would tend to be more christian conservative. unless you believe like I do, that politics have no business crossing with religion. my theory is that most blacks vote for obama because he is black, and most vote democrat, because democrats advocate more social services from tax payer money. just my opinion.

Well I'm a white Christian who is prochoice, how does my religion play into politics? Or are you saying that a prochoice person can't be a christian?

As I'm sure you are aware, there are liberal Christians as well. Or maybe you're not aware of that fact, meaning you're living in a limited world too.
I know there are liberal christians, who belong to liberal churches. those, like, conservative churches, are man made institutions. liberal christians is a bit of an oxymoron. I think if you follow the bible, you can't be a liberal. I don't follow anything, but I know a little bit about it. liberal churches aren't really christian churches. they are new churches that have their own separate belief system. it's christianity lite.

However, most Christians believe that it is a sin to kill babies.
Considering the vast majority of religious Americans consider themselves Christians (86% was the last number I saw), if your statement were true the country would be virulently anti choice. Since that is not the case, it means your statement is incorrect.
