Some Catholics and Evangelicals in the pro-life community made a significant wager based on Barack Obama’s promise to reduce abortions during the last election, a bet that Princeton philosophy of law professor Robert George is convinced was “foolish.” In order to document the outcome of this gamble, regardless of the results, George and some of his colleagues have launched Moralaccountability.com.
"If it had been the other way around and the left had championed the unborn, perhaps against corporate medical industry interests, or in the name of equality — or because of the lessons taught by the rise of the eugenics movement of the 1920s and 1930s, or because of being queasy over a recently slave- owning society once again deciding who was more equal, even more 'human' legally than others — my father would have been embraced as a religious leader on the left. And if Dad had been allied with the left, it would have ultimate been a much better fit for him — and for me."(Schaeffer, Crazy for God, 347)
