Also, I'm not sure what the point is - I really doubt receiving a Christmas card with a political agenda is going to change anyone's political views. Someone is not going to read the back of a pro-choice card and say, "Oh, gee, I was wrong all these years, I'll change my mind." Your friends know your views already, presumably, and either agree with you or agree to disagree. And you're not going to change an aquaintence's mind with a card, anyway.

The point? To make a point. There are 365 days in a year. Choose any OTHER one to send your political statement on. Leave Christmas, to those that celebrate it, alone. While I am pro-choice, I would be slightly appalled by someone's lack of taste in sending me this card.

I know, I know, I will send my Jewish friend's a Christmas card! Maybe NEXT year, they will know the REAL religion, right? OR, maybe to any of my friends carrying a pound or two too many...maybe some nice suggested cards from Weight Watchers? OR, how about those friends that simply can't seem to get the law right...maybe cards with my business cards enclosed? Ick!

The holidays, no matter which one you celebrate, should be light and peaceful, not political and in your face.

If you don't celebrate? Fine, stay nuetral. Don't ruin the holiday for those that do.
