Meanwhile, the Democrats humiliate the Republicans when it comes to acting on other Christian principles such as social justice and care for the environment. Not only are the advantages of a do-nothing Republican negligible, the simultaneous harm done to the poor and the earth is dangerous. This is not to suggest abortion should be less than urgent to voters with Christian principles. The civics lesson of the era, taught by Clinton and now Bush, is that politicians enjoy the success that comes with occupying the political center. This means shearing a lot of principle and inner compulsion along the way.
Abortion is simply too sacred an issue to leave in the hands of such puppets.
Politics has failed the cause of the unborn. High time we fail it, leading our community in holding a more responsible view of God's gift of life.
