"Some rather partisan decisions"

Owen Strachan:

Though it in no way deserves unquestioning allegiance, the Republican Party--and the conservative movement more broadly--is at least principally on the right side of many issues according to a biblical worldview....Politics involves parties, and factions, and necessary choices must be made by the faithful within this framework....When one side consistently stands for life and permanent, God-ordained institutions, while the other wants the legal right to crush the skulls of fetuses with forceps and tear down traditional marriage, even Christians who are not professional politicians will have to make some rather partisan decisions.

From a critique of Ross Douthat's Bad Religion in the Houston Baptist University publication, The City.
