There is separation of church and state somewhere. I'm not sure where, but somewhere. And the church is not a political party in America. Citizens of America are proud to vote in elections even if they make the wrong choice. The pride stems from the voting itself. It is difficult enough to get to the polls from work, and amazing to think that religious people have the luxury to boycott voting.
It is the Church's duty to take a stand against evil. No so-called gathering of Christians should "just ignore the murdered unborn children", as Keith Green put it. Pastors should denounce abortion from the pulpit. Keith Green said (sang) that unborn children are "handmade by Jesus". The death of each one is a horrible injustice and terrible tragedy. Christians and churches should stand against it. Who cares for politics? Who cares what is Republican, and what advances the conservative cause? We're talking about human lives. Nothing will compel me to support the carnage of abortion, or vote for anyone who does.
And let's bring God into the debate. He's been too forgotten. Try to think how He regards abortion, from all we can read and know from the Scripture. A frightening thought is that God is just, and I cannot imagine He has no recompense for those who kill the unborn.
At least you confess your ignorance. Maybe, like our liberal judges, you can find it in an 'emanation' or a 'penumbra'. If I were you, I'd look there first, because it sure isn't in the plain words of the Constitution.
And the church is not a political party in America.
Thank God. But who said it was?

'Religious people' are some of the most dedicated voters in America, thank goodness.
