Christianity Today Editor Rips GOPers' Abortion Stances Using 1 'Declining' Explanation
HuffPost
Russell Moore took aim at some Republicans for not having a "compelling moral vision to persuade the hearts and minds of people."
Russell Moore, editor-in-chief of leading evangelical magazine Christianity Today, knocked some Republicans who “seem to be acting as though they’re pro-life” by spotting “three exceptions” to their anti-abortion stances on Friday.
“Rape, incest, and declining poll numbers,” Moore told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.
“And that’s not a compelling moral vision to persuade the hearts and minds of people.”
The comments from Moore, who describes himself as both “pro-life and anti-Trump,” arrive after former President Donald Trump recently claimed that he wouldn’t sign a national abortion ban and he’d leave abortion rights up to the states if he returns to the Oval Office.
The presumptive GOP presidential nominee, in other remarks this week, also said the Arizona Supreme Court went “too far” after it ruled that a 160-year-old law criminalizing nearly all abortions can be enforced.
