Although Christian Right elites predicted a united front between the fundamentalist Right and pro-life groups, the alliance has been an uneasy one at best.

520 |a Although Christian Right elites predicted a united front between the fundamentalist Right and pro-life groups, the alliance has been an uneasy one at best. Only a minority of pro-life supporters have thrown their support to the Christian Right, and Christian Right supporters do not universally support the prolife groups. We explore the differences between the supporters of the Christian Right and the pro-life movement using data from a national survey in 1984. We find that religious differences are quite important in distinguishing between the supporters of the two sets of groups, with evangelicals supporting the Christian Right and Catholics supporting the pro-life movement. Among evangelicals, those who attend church frequently are more likely to support both groups, while those who belong to evangelical denominations but do not attend regularly are more likely to support only the Moral Majority. In addition to religious differences, the supporters of the two sets of groups displayed important political differences as well, with the pro-life supporters markedly more moderate on foreign policy and minority politics. Supporters of both groups were decidedly more conservative than those who supported only one set of organizations.
