Who are these people?

Liberal writers for such news outlets as the Washington Post and New York Times never fail to amaze with their descriptions of entire groups of people who have strange and eclectic thought processes, people of whom most of us have never met.

Today's example is in an article about how Congressional Democrats are tip-toeing around abortion (again), trying to move the pro-choice ball forward by pretending concern about pro-life issues while at the same time emasculating the political opposition by fooling enough people so that they will begin voting for Democrats again. The Post admits the pro-choice forces lost the battles in the Culture Wars of the last decade:

... Congress became a battleground for opposing forces in the abortion debate. Nearly 150 bills and amendments have been offered with the aim of restricting the procedure. Democrats and pro-abortion-rights Republicans blocked most of those measures, but in the process they alienated a vital group of voters -- religious moderates who support, in principle, the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide but who are morally squeamish about terminating pregnancies.

Pardon the hell out of us for asking, but just who are these "religious moderates" who are at one and the same time in favor of killing the unborn, but squeamish about it?

Is the WaPo telling us that there are hordes of people who essentially say, "I'm personally quite comfortable with abortion rights, but I wouldn't mind telling a woman she can't have one?" Have you ever met anyone who professed that point of view? We have not.

We've met the "I'm personally opposed, but I wouldn't dream telling anyone what to do with their body" people. They are legion. Politically speaking, they are also worthless. Neither side can count on their solid support, because they support nothing solidly.

According to Scripture, Jesus is of the same opinion:

"Because you are lukewarm, neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth." (Rev. 3:16, but read verse 17 if you are brave.)
