Baptist Press: Abortion and same-sex "marriage" were key factors in President Bush's re-election because the prevailing majority of the American people do not favor "radical societal change," a seminary dean told a public TV audience.
"We don't represent the kind of nation that would attack our most vulnerable through something as barbaric as partial-birth abortion," Russell D. Moore said in describing the electorate's outlook. "We're not the kind of nation that wants to say we are going to do away with 5,000 years of human civilization in terms of the definition of marriage."
Moore, who serves as dean of the school of theology and senior vice president for academic administration at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, voiced his assessment during a discussion of the nation's "moral divide" on Kentucky Educational Television's "Kentucky Tonight" program
