>>>Ending the holocaust of abortion will not come through politics.
The sad reality is that the duration of the abortion holocaust is prolonged by Christians who vote for pro-abortion candidates.

These are conflicting remarks. On one hand you say, politics isn't the answer and in the next remark you say abortion continues because Christian's vote for pro-abortion candidates.

Politics isn't just about winning elections, holding power and governing. Politics is about human relations and human interactions. Politics is one of the oldest forms of human experience. Ending abortion will come about through a series of life style changes, that will gradually take place over many decades, or it will happen through an epihany of sometype. An awakening. But either way, abortion will finally end through a sense of political reality that is, the will of the people.

Try this: Politics isn't the answer BECAUSE of Christians who keep voting for pro-abortion candidates.

To me it was clear. Politics in and of itself isn’t the answer; people’s minds and hearts have to change. If abortion were banned tomorrow, that would not change the abortion mentality of this nation, which has steadily worsened over 30 years.

Abortion is a matter of life and death, it is not truly a “political issue”. Rather, it was co-opted by a group of secular humanists and turned into a “political issue” because these people saw the possibility of getting what they wanted from a corrupted court system.

The political situation, as well as the current “law” is a direct reflection of the voters—the will of the people. For thirty years, the voting populace has, as a whole, allowed an unprecedented holocaust to continue in what is supposed to be the most “just” nation on the planet. The system is broken. It cannot fix itself. Politics in and of itself cannot overcome this evil. This will change politically only AFTER a massive cultural transformation.

Can we honestly think that we can change a majority of the Christians that keep voting for pro-abortion candidates within the broken political system?! We haven’t for 30 years and there is no indication we will in the future.

The only positive change is happening where people are receiving basic information (education) on the truth of life before birth. The more people understand about the humanity of the Preborn, the more they reject abortion.

Now clearly this education will not happen in public/government schools.

But it could have been happening in Christian schools all this time, but in most cases it is not.

What will change the culture? At the heart of it, this is truly a basic problem and there is a straightforward solution. The sanctity of life is a simple truth that can and must be taught like any other subject. In Christian schools it should be the preeminent subject in religion class and receive the greatest attention and highest Respect. The war between the cultures of life and death is the single thing that has a bearing on the destiny of our nation and the very survival of our society. Every student beginning kindergarten is naturally pro-life. If the Christian schools were to nurture this gift and guide the proper formation of their Christian consciences with ongoing teachings while continuously building on successive lessons—over the course of thirteen years the vast majority of these students would be solid pro-life citizens. Protestant and Catholic leaders who control schools, Bible study, CCD etc. need only the will to make this happen. Each day this doesn't happen is another day of victory for the pro-abortion forces, because ignorance of the masses is the only hope the pro-abortion forces have for survival.
