PC Pro-lifers
The Washington Post finds pro-lifers it can love.
Frustrated by the failure to overturn Roe v. Wade, a growing number of antiabortion pastors, conservative academics and activists are setting aside efforts to outlaw abortion and instead are focusing on building social programs and developing other assistance for pregnant women to reduce the number of abortions.
My problem with the approach of these "pro-lifers" is in the words "setting aside." It's not an expansive approach defending the unborn and helping the women in crisis, which is what virtually all other pro-lifers do via private efforts and organization. Rather, their approach is a narrower one that actually takes the eye off of the unborn. That, of course, is why WaPo gives them good press.
