My respects for a fine response. Perhaps you are an old veteran of Operation Rescue in the 80s and 90s, as am I.The objective of our clinic blockades ,then, was to save even a single unborn child;s life from abortion.Although we always risked arrest and practically always were, that was not our prime objective. The consequences that followed from the mass arrests did achieve penetration into the public awareness of this profound moral issue of child murder in the womb. There was required then, as is today, great sacrifices made; in terms of family, jobs, jail, and even physical injury. This has been and always will be required of a free people who wish to remain free. Free to obey their conscience,free to speak, and as Americans, free to shape their political destiny as endowed by our Creator to do so. Our Constitution was informed by and dedicated to God. The magistrate , even a humble clerk elected by the people, must call good what God calls good, and evil what God calls evil. The young woman in jail now is a prisoner of conscience, for resisting the twisted meaning in law that evil men and women
have wrung from our Constitution. Disobedience is the predictable behavior of people of Faith, when government reaches beyond it's authority and claims that which belongs to God. Much will be required of us to remain free Americans in the near future. This brave woman decided to become one of many to pay that price. As we ourselves consider the cost let us remember those who have gone before us who found the Faith and courage to do so,

Ditto.

The purpose was to save even a single unborn child's life. I have seen photographs of some of the babies that were saved from being butchered.

Thank you. I marched with the freedom riders in the early 60’s, was arrested and threatened by men of anger with shotguns.
As a pastor I stood against the church when it lost its ability to follow Christ. My greatest sorrow and pain was being pushed out of the UMC.
The Lord has never abandoned me, I remain in His grace and benevolence.
My waning years are spent here at FR working to put in words the power of living by conviction in spite of the evil that seeks to engulf us.
