There is one group of voters who are informed, follow politics, have strong opinions ... and do not vote. in 1994 MoralMajority / ChristianCoalition produced millions of Pro-lifers who never voted before and never voted since. The Senate Republicans so disappointed them in 1995-96. Knock door-to-door. You see a virgin Mary in the yard, or a Plaque on the door or a pro-life bumper sticker on the car in the driveway. You knock. They open the door. You see a worn Bible on the coffe table and EWTN or TBN on the TV. You think these are your voters. Think again. You ask them to vote, or to register to vote on the motor voter form you pull out of your pocket. They tell you they will pray about it. Six elections later they are still praying about it and still don't vote. Almost 100% of pro-abortion people vote. A very high percentage of pro-lifers do not vote. They are the single largest demographic group who follow politics, have a strong opinion on issues ... and do not vote.

That’s incredibly frustrating to read. Their inaction lends itself to the continuation of policies and activities that they despise, like abortion. I understand that they were disappointed by Congressional failure, but to give up the fight is worse than failure, at least in my book. Sad.

It’s like they are completely depending on the Lord to do the work, when Biblically it seems that he usually encouraged people to challenge evil.
