For example, Christians today are fighting (some in politics) for pro-life issues. Were it not for some in the Republican party, there would perhaps be no public voice for the unborn in this world today. China and the UN are leading the world to have one child per woman, and then forced sterilizations.
Secondly, the conscience of young people, especially those in public schools, is directly connected to the laws of the land. Since abortion is now safe, legal, and possibly free for the asking, what does this do to a generation of kids? How many have been irreparably damaged by promiscuity and guilt? Many Christians believe it all begins with good laws, and that's why they have entered the political arena.
