It amuses me how y’all interject God concerning a murderer of the unborn in defense of having a murderer justifiably be the mouth piece for life. All while dismissing the same tactics by the left when they talk about repentant child molesters, rapists and murderers of the born.
Again though, I forget, we’re talking about *your* issues so it is ok to be a little hypocritical.

Where on this thread did you see anyone post anything even approaching what you are accusing us all of?
I don’t think it’s fair to compare emotionally compromised women who are often pressured and coerced into having abortions to that of serial killers and sexual predators.
I don’t know if she was pressured or not, but I’ll entertain the possibility of that.
As a repentant murderer, she makes an effective spokeswoman because she's "been there" - not because pro-lifers think it's great (or even a matter of indifference) that she had abortions.

When do the left do that? Exactly which "repentant child molesters, rapists and murderers of the born" are you talking about?
Unfortunately, abortion is not illegal. Murder, rape, and child molestation are.
A murderer can go to heaven, but the state can still put him or her (Carla Faye Tucker, for example) to death. There are consequences to every sin, whether it is obvious or not. If we have broken man’s law, by man we are punished. If we have broken God’s law, as all of us have, to God we must answer.
While it would be better if man’s law and God’s law were in perfect harmony, God does grant certain authority to the state to punish evildoers and to protect the innocent (Romans 13).
You seem a little confused.
By your rhetoric, it is apparent the pro-life cause is not your issue.
Forgiveness is part and parcel of the Judeo-Christian heritage on which this country was founded.
If you have a problem with pro-lifers or the forgiveness explicit in our Judeo-Christian heritage, then you will not last long on FreeRepublic. The attitudes you are expressing on this thread certainly do not belong on this forum.

Luke 15:11-32
New International Version (NIV)
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus continued: “There was a man who had two sons. 12 The younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 “Not long after that, the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and there squandered his wealth in wild living. 14 After he had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he began to be in need. 15 So he went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his fields to feed pigs. 16 He longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare, and here I am starving to death! 18 I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate. 24 For this son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
25 “Meanwhile, the older son was in the field. When he came near the house, he heard music and dancing. 26 So he called one of the servants and asked him what was going on. 27 ‘Your brother has come,’ he replied, ‘and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has him back safe and sound.’
28 “The older brother became angry and refused to go in. So his father went out and pleaded with him. 29 But he answered his father, ‘Look! All these years I’ve been slaving for you and never disobeyed your orders. Yet you never gave me even a young goat so I could celebrate with my friends. 30 But when this son of yours who has squandered your property with prostitutes comes home, you kill the fattened calf for him!’
31 “‘My son,’ the father said, ‘you are always with me, and everything I have is yours. 32 But we had to celebrate and be glad, because this brother of yours was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’”
