American [[Christianity|Christians]], particularly [[Evangelical]] Christians, tend to be associated with the Republican Party. However, both historically and at the present day, [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] voters have had a tendency to identify with the Democrat Party, and a number of Democrat office-holders, such as Senator [[Jim Webb]] of Virginia, are Catholics. On the other hand, several planks of the Democrat Party's platform - most notably, the party's support for the legality of [[abortion]] - are contrary to Catholic teaching.
