Watch this remarkable 7 min documentary on an evangelical pro-life leader who is also<\/strong><\/em> FOR GUN CONTROL and that\u2019s why he just left the GOP!<\/p>\n

Like most other conservative evangelical ministers, the Rev. Rob Schenck objects to same-sex marriage. He is also vehemently against abortion rights. But as this Op-Doc video shows, he is remarkable in that he takes his pro-life stance so far that he contests death by gun. The way he sees it, the gun violence plaguing our nation is akin to \u201cadult abortion.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
