Can we trust information about abortion that’s from the Religious Right/Conservative movement, or is it propaganda?
I get my biological information from medical sources, and my biblical information straight from Scripture. So I don’t follow the logic of asking “Are they [the Conservative movement] a source whose information we can trust?” nor understand how this is just propaganda.

Do you oppose abortion because you are a conservative or for political reasons?
I am liberal on some issues and conservative on others, and I don’t care a bit which label falls on me. I am seeking to follow Christ, and it doesn’t matter if I sometimes sound Democratic and other times Republican. As for abortion, I oppose it for one simple reason: that it is the killing of innocent children.

Do you think the willingness of both political parties’ leaders to acknowledge the moral implications and aspects of abortion are an offering of good will and common ground?
To say that the acknowledgement of the moral implications and aspects of abortion are “an offering of good will and common ground” sounds nice, but William Wilberforce and his fellow abolitionists were constantly told this by those who wanted to massage slavery and tweak it here and there and maybe improve the conditions a little on the slave ships.

Isn’t it true that at the time it was passed, most evangelicals were silent in response to Roe v. Wade? So doesn’t that give doubt to their sincerity in opposing abortion now?
Yes. In the three decades I’ve been involved in the prolife movement, I have never once heard someone make the claim that evangelicals mobilized in direct response to Roe v. Wade. On the contrary, many of us have publicly bemoaned the fact that we did NOT do so. We were several years late coming out of the gates.

What is your response to the 2008 Democratic Party platform on abortion?
Substitute “a woman’s right to choose a safe and legal abortion” with “a man’s right to rape a woman” or “a white person’s right to enslave black people” or “a Nazi’s right to kill Jews” and you will understand how repugnant this statement is to a person who believes that both Scripture and science show us that unborn children are, in fact, children. (And it is every bit as repugnant when I hear Republicans present this as their position.)
