In Philadelphia last month, the Republican Party, to its credit, retained the firm pro-life plank in its platform. Not so the Democratic Party.
Democrats are serious about protecting the right to murder.
Republicans are tepid about protecting the lives of unborn children. For this reason and others, the Christian church historically has opposed elective abortion. The same Christian church, which in its first few centuries rescued abandoned children legally cast into the drainage ditches in ancient Rome, could scarcely be counted faithful to its heritage if it today dismissed concerns over legalized abortion. There is no other word for it. This puts the issue in sharp perspective.
