Evangelicals are paying high moral price for anti-abortion gains

CP might have been right about it being a broad brush tho.

Oh...thought it was a squeegee. That makes sense!

It's all true. It's more of the liberal Christian mindset that has infested the church with their conflating social justice issues with moral issues.

"Social justice" quote often has nothing at all to do with actual justice.

Issues of justice (IOW, righteousness) in society are not moral issues ?

Matters that are labeled "social justice" are more often than not... not righteous.

I just read this interesting article and it put some very strong words on what I have been thinking quite many times when visiting tweb. Initially one would think that there could not be a price too high to pay for anti-abortion, but if you read it end to end you will see that his point is that basically Evangelicals today are selling out the basic teachings of Jesus in order to possible gain what would not help children but put women in danger.

Let's look at some interesting quotes:

I did not read the article. The quotes given were enough to convince me that it was of little to no value.

That's a pretty heavy ad hom.

More like a dead on target assessment.

Yes. In trying to attract the world, they become more and more like it and the gospel is changed or lost completely in the process.

It reminds me of when my brother said he was interested in attending church again but made it clear he would look for more of a social club church rather than one that was bound up with all that religious stuff

Back around 9/11 I attended a liberal UCC church, there were two temporary pastors at different times. Neither of then believed that Christ was resurrected, it was a metaphor. A metaphor for what I asked one - crickets...

Those are folks who need to find another vocation.

Those are folks who need to find another vocation.

The words from Christ about a millstone being tied around their neck comes to mind.

No, they get good pensions from the UCC.

This article makes a great argument that liberals should support an overturning of Roe v. Wade. If the sticking point of abortion is removed from the federal level and reverted back to the states (as an overturning would accomplish), then there's less incentive for evangelicals to vote Republican for congress/senate/president.

I was raised in a Catholic Democrat family. I only voted for one Republican, in 1972, then not again to 1994. And that was because of social issues, abortion, gay rights, the sexual revolution in general, largely supported by the left. But concerning those cultural questions we will never again find a home in the Democratic party.

There would be an incentive to keep the court. If Rs can undo RvW, Ds can just as easily redo it. After all, the issue is more about power than it is abortion. We've had 45 years of evangelicals supporting R pro-abortion policy to show it.
