So because he thinks this it is projected onto all Christians? Doesn't follow.

Thank you for your honesty. It is good to see what we have long suspected but most pro-life people deny. This is about controlling women's sexuality.
They don't seem to know that a large percentage of women who seek abortions are married.
Abortion is killing of a human being and not amount of "evil Christian drama" will change that fact.
That's why we, His followers, are here. We are His disciples and His ambassadors.
Be a sheep and not a goat (Matthew 25:31-46).
I got this commentary in my e-mail today:
Is Common Ground on Abortion Possible?
It is written by the liberal Evangelical Pastor Jim Wallis. He makes the call for liberals and conservatives to come together to end the reasons why women have abortions instead of just passing laws against it. He details many of the things in American life which cause women to seek abortions. He says fixing those reasons would result in a large drop in abortions.
I agree with him and have for years tried to get people to understand that making laws won't protect any fetus. Ending the stigma of being a single woman with a child (the [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse] syndrome), paying women a family wage, working towards making child care available for the working mother, health care that is affordable and...the one I noticed wasn't on Pastor Wallis' list...getting American men to view a single mother as a valuable candidate for a mate BECAUSE she chose not to abort.
But, after reading the commentary, the thought came to me...What if all this has nothing at all to do with abortion. What if conservatives really don't give a rat's behind about giving women a reason not to abort? What if the REAL reason they are trying to legally end abortions is really about simply getting their religious dogma engraved in American law?
If that is right, is there any reason to think that will be end of their desire get their religious dogma engraved in American law? Are we headed for a Christian version of the Taliban?
Do we go into the world or "prefer one another"?
I have found that going out into the world and reaching out to people who are hurting and suffering keeps me humble and focused (not too heavenly minded to be any earthly good). It reminds me of the grace of God in my own life and it reminds me of the people God sent into my life to help me.
So does being married for about 30 years.

Aren't we supposed to "come out of" the world?
You know, I heard of this man who would eat with sinners and tax collectors. He was considered to be a radical in His day and some of the religious people who knew Him couldn't stand the sight of Him.

Anyone who wants to avoid going in circles about why we should actually help struggling people, just step off the merry go round.
It was a simple question. Do you have an answer?
I don't think there is even the hint of a biblical case that we should not help the poor as Christians, so no, I am not going to answer your various "simple" questions.
