Know Your Representative
This table shows all 435 of the Representatives of the 113th Congress.
The information on this table was acquired from 2 separate sources. The Representative's States, names and religious affiliations were mainly taken from Wikipedia. Their positions on abortion were taken from Project Vote Smart. You can click on the links in the table to find out more about each individual.
Religious affiliation is an important component to these charts because those who profess a belief in God should know better than to be Pro-Abortion. Knowing this information can help those of us who are similarly affiliated, apply pressure to those elected officials to change their stand on abortion or not re-elect them in the future. Every effort has been made to determine the religious affiliation of each of the Representatives. However, in some cases the information is not available. When you see "Other" in the Religion box, it means that the individual is neither a Christian, Jew or Muslim or their religious affiliation is not known.
What is considered to be a Christian? There are many Christian denominations or sects. The determination as to whether or not someone on this list is a Christian was made by the individuals. If it is their belief that they are Christians, for this table they should be considered as such. The idea is to hold these individuals to the standards of the faith in which they profess.

Help Needed
Each US State has its own elected officials. Volunteers are needed to identify these officials and their positions regarding abortion, just as I have done with the US 112th Congress. Good research skills, access to and a working a working knowledge of a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel will be necessary. If interested, please contact me for more details.
