Being against murder makes you a murderer
I received an interesting comment (which I deleted) to my blog post about prolife violence (written shortly after the abortionist George Tiller was shot and killed):
Will there be PAYBACK for Dr. Tiller?
Will there be COUNTERTERROR against right-to-lifers?
If a right-to-lifer gets counterterrorized TO DEATH, will that be murder, or JUSTIFIABLE HOMICIDE?
WHO would be the most effective TARGETS for anti-right-to-lifist counterterror?
WHERE do they LIVE?
I went to the commentor’s website and the operator had this lovely statement in the profile:
Right-to-lifism is murder, and ALL right-to-lifers are murderers. Swear it, believe it, proclaim it, and act on it.
I think the prophet Isaiah said it best:
Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter. Isaiah 5:20
Incredible.
I think we have to expect this, however, when people on both sides of EVERY issue tend to demonize people with different points of view. And we have to take responsibility for the times we do this as well.
That said, I’d rather be on the right side of this issue. And killing people is wrong – whether they are in utero or not.
