Many politicians today think that abortion - the killing of infants in the womb - is wrong, but do not want to say so or make laws to prevent it. In essence, they want to retain their power at the expense of little babies.

How is this not different from what Herod did when he ordered the death of children 2 years and under? At the hint that the newborn Jesus was going to overthrow him.

This is terrible but nothing new. Constantine and many other "Christian" emperors and kings have ruthlessly killed to obtain and maintain power. There was a period of time when medieval popes were assassinated left and right. So if the highest leaders in Christendom fall back on such evil tacts, why should we expect better of leaders of purely secular governments?

Yes, even many professed Christians will support all manner of evil and morally bankrupt politicians in order to gain/retain power.

Politicians don't have beliefs or feelings - stop humanizing them.

i imagine there are also lots of them that don't care about abortion but pretend to in order to get support from people that do care.

Yup. It's the ultimate issue for both sides because it allows them all to do absolutely nothing, while stoking so much fear that people will run to the same people who are doing absolutely nothing one way or the other.

Secular governments are a race to the bottom. Social "conservatives" want to stone gay people but not the divorced, and make abortion their sole hill to die on while talking about the freedom to use contraception and pornography.

We are either pro-life or pro-death. We are either pro-christ or anti-Christ.

Inshallah We will hear no more or these secular democracies or liberties that have descended from Shaitan himself.
