Christian Democracy, basically a politically-engaged form of Christian communitarianism, is the underlying political-social philosophy of the CDU.
For example, the populist William Jennings Bryan, a three-time presidential nominee of the Democratic Party in the U.S. a century ago, who fought vigorously against social Darwinism, the underlying philosophy of eugenicism, and forcefully advocated the cause of the poor and oppressed, might consider himself a Christian Democrat if he were alive today.
Christian Democracy was formed as a political-social philosophy in the last quarter of the 19th century.

 In Defense of the Christian Liberal, by Frank Lovato - Democratic Underground
Liberals, whether or not they are Christians, are often more Christian acting than the more vocal conservatives because they are truly concerned about the well being of people and do not rush to judge the righteousness of their fellow man. The Bible has a passage that states, "Judge not least you be judged".
I my opinion, it would seems that a true Christian society would be willing if not eager to provide a means by which a killer could save his soul and not prematurely end his life before he has had every opportunity to repent of his sins.
Christian teaching holds that the innocent un-born child and the hardened killer are both precious to God and not one more than the other.

 The Difference Between Republicans & Democrats Is Night And Day
Neither party has been representing the interest of liberals and that is a shame because liberals ideals promote freedom, human rights, worker's rights, a clean environment, and greater economic opportunities for all Americans.
However, there is almost no difference between Republican and Democratic voters except their perceptions about where the two parties stand on issues like abortion, gun control, taxes, state's rights, prayer in school, military spending, deficits, and Social Security, and their perceptions are often wrong.
I believe that the Republican Party is the dirty playing red team and their foul play is dragging the fair-minded Democratic Party down with it.

If Democrats want to win back the Catholics, they should read the Compendium of the Church's Social Justice Teachings that the Vatican has recently published, take abortion and stem cell research off the table, and encourage Catholics to vote their Church's social justice teachings.
A lot of people think the theologians, especially the Catholic and born again Christian theologians are basing their ideas that a fertilized egg is human on opinion.

 Faith-Based Triangulation | Christianity Today | A Magazine of Evangelical Conviction
Casey was actively recruited by the Party leadership—more or less the same political elite that once banned his pro-life father from addressing the Democratic National Convention.
Equally important, the triumph of Democratic candidates candid about their faith commitments makes it harder for liberals to vilify religious believers in general or to rule religion out of bounds in the field of politics.
Their ability to move their party to the right on social issues will be extremely limited—especially with arch liberal Nancy Pelosi as the Speaker of the House.
