Yesterday I heard the sad story of one young girl at a Planned Parenthood clinic. She bled to death waiting for medical assistance because the Clinic did not want an ambulance to be seen outside their doors during business hours. These are the kinds of stories that never make it to mainstream news. It's no wonder that Christian churches and agencies are working hard to take abortion "off the table."

Again, I am talking about the PUBLIC stance. I know there are there innumerable loving Christian acts done by loving Christians. I am arguing that I don't necessarily see it reflected in the POLITICAL stance. Bush adocated for a more "compassionate conservatism" when he ran the first time. But that fell by the wayside.
The flip side of your story is also true: liberal Chrisitan who believe a government safety-net is the right "Christian" policy, yet often privately don't lift a finger to help the poor.
