I don't know anything about this gender difference. I believe that the real
problem is not so much the difference in pro-life or pro-choice. I think that
it is committment to the view. For example I am pro-choice but I don't have
a lot of committment to that view. I don't write a lot of letters to Congress
or do a lot of other things to insure pro-choice. Many women do. I believe
that many pro-life males do have a large committment to that view; that they
have a strong enough committment that they will do a lot to convince people
running for and in Congress that they will lose votes if they don't vote
pro-life. Fortunately Congresspeople who are pro-choice tend to be pro a lot 
of other things I am pro. However I think that males like me should remind
our representatives a little more often of our pro-choice views.
