While your goal is commendable, politics has to be worked incrementally.

You're fooling yourself if you think you have enough power or perspective to play incremental games with evil.

Compromise with evil and you've already lost.

All we can do is the right thing, leaving the results to God. He has the perspective and the power to bring about His will, either immediately or over time. We do not.

If every Christian in America would simply adopt George Washington's attitude concerning things like this, the abortion carnage would stop.

"If, to please the people, we offer what we ourselves disprove, how can we afterwards defend our work? Let us raise a standard to which the wise and the honest can repair. The event is in the hand of God."

-- George Washington

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

No one is fooled here and no one is compromising a single thing.

We are moving the ball toward the goal line here. This is how you win the hearts and minds of the majority.

The next step would be a law, for example, outlawing abortions after the presence of brain waves in the fetus. This happens after 6-8 weeks.

The laws passed by different states then begin to support one another. Soon some state will ban abortions altogether, more will follow, then under the right conditions, a national law could pass and not be overturned.

But it has to be done one step at a time. That is how things realistically get done.

Pray without ceasing.
