Quotations: Jim Wallis on abortion

With silly season kicking into overdrive this week, it’s probably a good time to prayerfully consider this nonpartisan, prophetic view of an issue that will be politicized and manipulated plenty as November draws closer.

Symbolic positions of ‘pro-life’ and ‘pro-choice’ have replaced the actual saving of unborn lives. Abortion, as a volatile and highly emotional issue, is used in every election cycle to galvanize highly partisan political bases in each party, then quickly forgotten when the winners begin to govern.”Jim Wallis in the book “The Great Awakening”
