CHAPTER

Navigating the Intersection of Politics and Morality in the Fight Against Abortion

This chapter explores the perspective of Trump supporting evangelicals who view his presidency as a means to prevent abortion, despite his flaws, arguing that political compromises are necessary to achieve this goal. It discusses the importance of maintaining moral integrity in addressing abortion, using examples such as Ireland's shift towards pro-choice views due to the Catholic Church's loss of moral credibility. The chapter also delves into the evolving stance towards abortion in the pro-life movement, challenges faced by dissenting individuals in various political groups, and the balance between working within established institutions and operating from outside in American evangelical life.
