    Joe Belz,  Conclusion

     To be consistently anti-abortion (you can) at the same time cast your vote for environmental sensitivity, against racism, and for economic justice. These are not independent, isolated packages.

     It's hard to see how anyone can focus on the future of polar bears and whales, while asking evangelicals to (stop caring about infant humans). Keep in mind that abortion is one of the most racist of all social causes. The history of Planned Parenthood and similar organizations is racist to the core - as is their current practice.

     And no economist can look at the loss of 50 million American babies over the last 45 years [this was written in 2008] and not wince at the drain on the vitality of our society. Today's poor Americans are poorer than they would have been if we'd take care to preserve enough consumers - and workers - to fill a state 1-1/2 as big as California. 

     Stop apologizing for focusing on a single issue. It's those promoting causes like abortion and same-sex marriage who are the real "single issue" fanatics, falsely teaching that you can mess with one or two aspects of life without upsetting the balance God installed in His created order.

     We need to expose the lie for the tragic falsehood that it is - and to teach the next generation what a bad bargain they have been asked to accept.
