An Excerpt.

An excerpt from an article in a Sojourners email that landed in my inbox today. On some of the changes in politics. . .

Third, we see a broadening of the agenda with fewer
single issue voters. “Pro-life” voters are realizing that their faith calls for
a consistent ethic of life from "womb to tomb.” Voters are now judging
candidates based on who best addresses all the threats to human life and
dignity. And for some, a more pragmatic strategy of serious abortion reduction,
rather than a strategy of continuing only to try to make abortion illegal, is
appealing. It is becoming a common ground that could break the ideological
deadlock of the past 30 years. This consistent ethic of life has caused a
significant shift in the political agenda of many Christians by expanding their
definition of what it means to be pro-life. They are tired of political
pandering to the issue that seems to be more about winning elections than
pragmatic solutions.
