Evangelical views of abortion

Opposing abortion is a pretty standard position for evangelicals. So why all the talk about the evangelical vote being more divided. After all, there is only one pro-life candidate. I think the answer is demonstrated in the following videos of Donald Miller and John Piper. For those unacquainted with Miller, he has written, among other books, Blue Like Jazz, a best-seller that lays out a hipper, trendier Christian life. Miller actually prayed at the DNC, and this interview was recorded during his time there. Most intriguing is Miller's assessment that abortion isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and so providing the assumed conclusion that evangelicals just need to deal with it. I seem to remember the same arguments given to William Wilberforce and American abolitionists. Slavery isn't going anywhere, just deal with it. They didn't and thank God they didn't. Piper, as you may guess, offers a very different perspective.

Just in case some of you are wondering what exactly is Obama's stance on abortion the last video should give you a fairly good idea.
