That has been reframed. If we call it social justice, you're good.

No, stealing is not social justice -- and social justice is not stealing.

What's Savage talking about today?

I don't want "Christians" or any other religious group controlling the country.
Isn't that what sharia law is?

I think so.
And I think it is appropriate for Christians to picket abortion clinics.

but I think it needs to be with LOVE and not a condemnation of those going in. Some of those young women are just desperately doing what they think they have to do. In my opinion, anyone who has had an abortion (or several abortions) should be warmly welcomed and loved when they come to our church. We have to let the past stay in the past and don't try to go digging into the blood of Jesus to find stuff that God has already forgotten.
