Ahead of next month’s American election, Christian pro-life advocates are being criticized for repeating much of the same things Christian abolitionists said about politics in their time. Actually, more than that: many of the Christians criticizing pro-life advocates are repeating much of the same things pro-slavery advocates said about Christian abolitionists 200 years ago. In…

If a pregnant woman promised to you she would donate money to poor children if you drove her to Planned Parenthood, would you do it? Would you enable her to kill her child to help other children?

If there was a nation in the world with only billionaires and millionaires, would you consider the least rich person in that nation poor?

One of my Republican friends in America refused to vote for Trump in 2016. And she’ll probably refuse to vote the way many Republicans will in 2020 too. She couldn’t vote for Trump. She couldn’t vote for a man who routinely disrespects and insults his rivals. She couldn’t write Donald Trump’s name on her ballot—she…
