Politics shouldn’t be church trying to convince people your way is the highway. Political arguments should be about addressing conflicting values and applying them to a solution, rather than simply choose one or the other. Take abortion. Democrats approach it from the perspective of the mother and her right to terminate life, Republicans approach it from the perspective of the child and their right to be a parasite for nine months until they drop out in the world on their own. Why take one side and ignore the other in laws outlawing it or making it a free for all, when you can address both concerns by allowing abortion while putting in place actions to prevent abortion from being necessary - more birth control, education, etc.
