Joe Carter, Editor for The Gospel Coalition and Executive Pastor of the McLean Bible Church of Arlington, Virginia, explains the somewhat vague "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" approach to abortion that many modern Pro-Life Politicians exhibit. In light of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the position of Supreme Court Justice, Carter questions how we can be sure of the stance that politicians will take on important cases and decisions such as Roe v.
