I agree with some of this, however, what does the author mean about “healthcare for the poor”. It’s there and it’s not a right endowed by our Creator.
He lost me at gun violence and “creation care” another new handy euphemism for environmentalism I guess.
I do believe that in many cases, abortion for instance, the pro-life movement has gotten off on a big tangent. When you go to some of the rally’s, the catholic imagery is so overwhelming that it blocks the real message that the baby is alive.
It also serves to drive many evangelicals away from the marketplace. In some ways, we’re made to feel not welcome, like it’s their party and we weren’t invited.
As an example, I know a lady who worked for years to raise funds and open a pro-life women’s care center right across the street from an abortion facility. She is an evangelical Christian. The local catholic bishop provided some of the funding. A few months after they opened, they fired the founder because she wasn’t catholic.
Yep, really helped that cause.
