How common this fallacy is. "I think ......" Then, "Are there Christian values....??? " (Implicit assumption: what I think = christian values). Ah, the arrogance of thinking that your opinion represents semi-universal truths. I am also PRO-life in that I respect it greatly, and do not take abortions lightly, but don't be dictating your belief to me. I am not gay, but see no harm in gay relationships, and in fact I believe tolerance would be good for society. I can't imagine Jesus tying homosexuals to a wire fence and leaving them to die, nor even being concerned if two swore undying allegiance to each other.It doesn't harm me, nor anyone else. What's your hangup. That the word "marriage" has been co-opted? Then use another word.

You're actually asking 2 questions:
1) Are the Democrats pro-life and anti-gay marriage?
Most aren't pro-life (with a few exceptions, such as Senator-elect Casey of Pennsylvania), though probably no more than half are pro-gay marriage.
2) Are there Christian values in the Democratic Party?
Yes, but probably not your definition of Christian values. I.e., they pay more attention to Jesus saying "love your neighbor" rather than random passages from the Old Testament condemning gays.

The question should be are there christian values in Republicans?
War, capital punishment, torture, I dont think Jesus would be very happy about that.

Yes , "Judge not that ye be not judged." (Mt. 7:1). However, there is meant to be a separation of church and state when it comes to American politics. Though this is not always the case.
