I could make an excellent case that A. Lincoln was a weak apologist and accomodationist for slavery.

As to your 2 highlighted points, the first relates to the concept of a seamless web in support of life.

As to your second highlighted point, are you opposing helping such victims?

So no, I will leave him on the list and patiently wait for the many examples of non-theistic progressives that I am sure will soon flood the religion group. Or the A/A group.

Or not. Berrigan's prayer strikes me as much more progressive than anything else.
