Fred's written an excellent piece at Slacktivist about how Lifeway has discovered that a third of evangelicals are pro-choice, meaning they think abortion should be legal. As you can imagine, evangelical leaders are freaking out about this finding and trying to think up ways to rationalize the results of the survey, with many of them deciding that pro-choice evangelicals aren't TRUE EVANGELICALS™. They've been on a kick lately to define who is in the tribe and who's out, so their new line in the sand isn't a big surprise to see. But they're wrong about their tribe's monolithic opposition to abortion--just like they're wrong about all the other ways they're trying to police the use of Christian terms--like "Christian" itself.
