I am prochoice on the subject of shooting serial child killers.
The only difference between an abortionist and a serial child killer is the age of their victims.
Not exactly the case
The REAL difference is that one is a State-sactioned, professionally trained, murder for hire and the other is just a clever amateur. Age is just a dividing line.
That's also how I see it.
I know I am out of the pro-life mainstream on this issue, but I look at it this way. If 3 month old babies were being murdered in a facility that claims to be a woman's health clinic anyone would be morally and legally justified in intervening, and intervening with potentially deadly force if necessary. A person who used deadly force to stop a paid professional hit man from killing a handicapped 3 month old baby would be applauded by the media and the public, and rightly so. The fact that the children who are being murdered in those "clinics" are not yet born may alter the legal status of their murderers as long as Roe v Wade is the law of the land, but it doesn't change their status as murderers in the moral realm.
I won't shoot abortionists or bomb abortuaries to stop their deadly work because it's legally impermissible, and we are commanded by God to obey the law even if we disagree with it on moral grounds. But I can't keep from sympathizing to some degree with those who do commit those acts to save the lives of the countless babies that the abortionist will murder in his/her normal lifetime. My main criticism of secular pro-lifers who use deadly force against baby killers is that their illegal acts always set back the painfully slow progress that is being made in changing the attitude of American voters regarding the abortion issue.
God could have stopped the murderous persecution of early Christians in Rome, and he could stop the murderous activities of abortionists in America today. But for reasons known only to Him He often allows persecution of the innocent to continue. And if I obey His scriptural command to obey even unGodlly rulers I can only work within legal parameters to end the legalized murder of the unborn and partially born humans who currently have no legal standing in US law to protect them.
