It is not demonstrable that killing fetuses is killing persons. Not even evangelicals act as if it were. If so, a woman seeking an abortion would be the most culpable person. She is killing her own child. But the evangelical community does not call for her execution.

Of course we don't call for her execution, we would rather see her restored and whole. We preach forgiveness from sin, not vengeance.

The author is correct that this is an inconsistency in pro-lifers.

Are you equally anxious to see Jeffrey Daumer made “restored and whole?” Or do you preach vengeance for him, but not for her? If so, on what logical basis?

What about murderers & rapists - do you want to see them restored on the principle of forgiveness? Should we abolish all punishment and open the jails? That is a quite unbelievable position.

The above point from the article, earlier stated by Michael Medved, is a brick wall that people will keep running into, until they take a consistent, logical position on this.

Murder is murder, or it is not. Murder can't happen without a culpable murderer.
