Check out his book--don't remember the title--published around the time of the Monica thing. He is a Scripture-twister. He argues that a baby is not alive until it BREATHES because Genesis says that God breathed the breath of life into Adam. What a load of intellectually-dishonest crapola. BTW: Clinton used that and other similar "Scriptural" arguments for killing babies. Guess where he got them.

I've looked all over the internet at criticisms of Tony Campolo (and there are plenty), but specifically identify him as proabortion. On many other issues there are specific quotes, but the only references to abortion are his association with Clinton and Clinton's support of abortion. In fact, there are quotes of Campolo from early in Clinton's presidency in which he comments that he differs from Clinton on abortion. Clinton's boyhood pastor is recognized as using the "breath of life" argument.
Unless Campolo has changed his view in recent years, I would be very surprised if he was proabortion. He's not shy about stating his views, and his critics are quite skilled at finding these kinds of quotes. I don't have access to his books, but if you find a specific reference, I would be interested in it.

Well, he's got a slight problem, even with that contorted rational. Because the baby actually breathes in utero.
