I think we are asking the wrong question.
The president of the USA, even if this could be a hypothetical Mother Teresa, shouldn’t be our godparent.
Christians can rightfully press for people to believe in a higher view than Caesar requires. This is how Mississippi ended up with almost no abortion clinics — not because anyone was able to ban them, but because the demand dwindled so in the face of faith that actually had some heart.
I would say that if Christians are solicitous for those who are born, all the more so they should be for those who are born again. The example furnished by their lives is going to be what once more brings the hearts and minds back among our midst, to regain the lost sensitivity (yes that is a bible reference), to once more enter a position where killing one’s unborn child would be unthinkable by sheer moral gravity. And I won’t even say just America. With a credible enough display, it could spill over into Canada, into Mexico, maybe even the rest of the world.
EXCELLENT post. Thanks for sharing these thoughtful words.
