  Progressives contend that the monomaniacal emphasis on abortion neglects pressing life issues among living, conscious, already-born persons. In the US, the anti-abortion movement is politically aligned with a party vigorously committed to the interests of an economic elite and indifferent or hostile to services for the poor, all in flagrant opposition to the gospel. Therefore the anti-abortion movement has little credibility with progressive Christians.
