...abortion. While Ford supports a constitutional amendment to allow the states to outlaw abortion. Carter does not, though he personally is against abortion. Moreover, Carter is a Southern Baptist, and ethnics view that denomination suspiciously because of its anti-Catholicism in years past. Ford is also a devout Protestant (Episcopalian), but many ethnics feel more comfortable with him than with Carter because the President does not appear to make his religion so paramount...
Munching pungent Polish sausage (heavy on the onion sauce) at a county fair, he can talk knowingly about the fine points of a champion steer because he has done some gentleman farming. In the predominantly Democratic Pittsburgh district that has elected him three times, Heinz, an Episcopalian, gets on well with blue-collar ethnic families.

Ford has wooed the conservative Christian vote for months with the help of Richard Brannon, a Baptist minister and assistant personnel director at the White House...
...plants in her apartment. She claims that she knows more about plants than any graduate student and in fact seems faintly suspicious of the grad breed since she reported that a divinity student whom she once knew asked her to write his thesis for him on the uses of episcopalian priests' habits. Yet the child of Aries also insisted that it is the graduate students and not she about whom The Crimson should be writing because graduate students write their own books while she is "only translating." Her one principle in life, she said is "not to be conspicuous...
