Since I believe the Bible, it will continue to be a major issue and the lack of true spiritual leadership will get worse - God has spoken about the cesspool the world will become before He makes it right. Maybe we should welcome the decline that leads to His return and just focus on reaching souls that might be saved for His glory. When Jesus told us to "resist not evil" He was not talking about physical abuse being something to endure, He was saying that there are those who will throw insults, slurs, and other evil ideas into the mix and we should not worry about stopping them from it - we should let them have at it and concentrate on carrying the Word of His glorious Love. Evil will not be silenced by any human efforts - He will defeat it, not us.
Some see abortion as a political issue rather than a spiritual issue. It's not the effect on souls involved that is the focus, but the effect on politics.
