It appears to me that members of the pro-life community are more intent upon being martyrs than winners.
Some hills are worth dying on. Some hills are NOT worth dying on.
But the life of an unborn child? I'd die on that hill a MILLION times before I would walk away from it so I could win something.
At the end of this life...GOD will determine who eventually wins and loses...and I do not want to be found on the wrong side of God. And make no mistake...abortion is a scheme of God's enemy, Satan. He (Satan) was a murderer from the beginning (Jon 8:44)...and in eternity I will not be found on the side of a murderer so that I might gain some temporary victory.
Maybe you can sell your soul...but I won't.
People who are genuinely pro-life understand that this very much is a black and white issue.
Unless ALL human life is sacred, ALL are vulnerable. We have seen this again and again throughout history.
And, for the record, I have met Dr. Carson and am extremely impressed with him on nearly all other issues.
I am even prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt and say that perhaps he misspoke or that he held positions in the past that he no longer holds. However, IF this is the case, he needs to explain his evolution on the matter and what he really believes. I've found that those who are genuinely pro-life are quite comfortable doing this; but those who are claiming to be pro-life for political convenience are constantly making blunders that reveal their true position (look at Mitt Romney).
