On the one hand, If my position that Right wing political involvement is born out of an idolatry to power, then they have little business seeking to impose their views on the unchurched. (Imposing thier views on the churched is an entirely different matter).

ON the other handm their is a strain within the Sermon on the Nount and certainly thePoetry and Prophets that speaks to righting injustice. If it is benedifical for fundamentalist christians to see a Biblical and moral imperative to be abolotionists or Freedom Riders in the Sixties how could it be inherently wrong to seek the moral absolutism on the issue of abortion as well?

Again I think it comes down to an issue of tactics. OPeration Resuc no doubtpushed more people away froma life of faith then babies who were saved. I do not think that is what Jesus had in mind

I think it is fine to be anti-abortion, but your motivation has to be Christ-Centered and not fetus0centered. Ultimately my faith tells me that if these folks would spens as much time alone and on their knees praying for a spiritual awakening rather then in from of abortion clinc screaming "baby killers baby killers" every third saturday of the month. they would be far more effective witneses in the Kingdom of God.

Again, you don't restore righteousness by protesting, or packing the High Court or imposing your moral code on the rest of us. It is only done God's way.

Much of what motivates the RW is a quest for relevance through poliitcal power, It ought to be a search for transparency and through prayer and humility and charity.

I think it is fine to be pro-like but if your tactics push people away from Christ what have you accomplished?

In other words:
Lord Lord did we not protest at the clinic in your name, and the Lord said get away from me I do not know you.
