Not the Answer!

Today there was a murder in Wichita, Kansas that should sadden us all. Dr. George Tiller, a well known abortionist, was gunned down in a church. While I do not agree with his chosen profession I never can rationalize the murder of another human being in the name of any cause.

For those who know me I have been active in the pro-life movement for several years and committed to the cause all of my life. The people I associate with are passionate about this cause but never condone violence as an expression of their passion. You will rarely see us at any protests, rather we choose to provide information and services to pregnant women that are faced with the daunting choice of whether to terminate a pregnancy. We offer counseling, ultrasounds, and prayer. We believe that life begins at conception and that we have a moral responsibility to help the unborn child make its way into this world. Our services are free of charge and we provide them without government funding, unless tax exempt status counts as such. Trust me, the donations we receive are all dedicated to the services we provide. There is no financial profit in this business!

The reason for the above explanation is that 99.9% of the people involved in the pro-life movement are just like us. They don't bomb abortion clinics, shoot people, or become violent in any fashion. We may believe abortion to be murder but that is a moral judgment, not a legal one. This moral judgment does not justify violence against another human being, no matter what.

The people that do bomb abortion clinics or shoot people in the name of stopping abortions are sick and twisted individuals that need to be brought to justice.
