Proper use of Christian Apologetics involves both an emphasis on faith, and an emphasis on reason. Tertullian famously declared that he "believed it because it was absurd" -- but this is not a good position. Faith should be in your heart by the grace of the Holy Spirit, but reason should also be in your mind, explaining why the belief is correct and not absurd at all.

Abortion is wrong on every level, and Republicans should be able to make that case in a variety of compelling ways.

Just like being against stealing and bribery. Nobody says he struggled with his faith to conclude that stealing and bribery is wrong.

Republicans have made that case for decades--and failed to compel a majority of people in this country. The bottom line is that unintended pregnancy = slavery in the minds of a lot of women. And none of that is new thinking. I wonder how in heck the GOP ever thought they would defeat that kind of logic?
