Many Christians are registered as Democrats, believe in God and, support keeping abortion legal. The most effective way to reduce abortions is to promote use of contraceptives. Providing assistance to mothers is also effective as well as taking a firm stand against sexual assault. My political views are consistent with and arise out of my Christian faith.
I was at the gathering. It was a lovely celebration of beliefs held in common by Jews, Christians, and Muslims-- that is the welcoming of strangers as spoken of by Moses, Jesus, and Mohammed. This was organized religious gathering more than a protest. Notice there were few signs, and the one's that I saw had Biblical quotes. I found Dr. Barbour's speech moving and well worth standing in the cold together with my brothers and sisters regardless of how many other people were there or not there.
