The two of you read entirely too much into my comment, or maybe not enough. At any rate you both missed the point entirely. I am as adamantly pro-life as anyone on this board if not more so.

Christ's forgiveness is extended to us no matter what we have done in the past. That is not saying that we should turn murderers and rapists free based on that forgiveness. The common laws given to man hold consequences for having been broken, and in such cases we should expect that we, and others will suffer the consequences of our actions. Justice, a concept that comes from God, requires no less. However, it is not for us to say what will happen to this person spiritually after the fact. It is our duty to confront, admonish, restore, and disciple one another, not to stand as judge jury and executioner. However, if I was as perfect as you two seem to think that you are I would have no problem doing that.

I am not saying that we give these people a pass, but rather that we seek to show Christ's love to them, as He, and others He has put into our lives) have showed it to us, not write them off, based on a mistake.

I’m still waiting for a logical reason why the intentional killing of an unborn child should be treated differently under the law than the intentional killing of anyone else. \

Or for that matter why a woman killing her child five minutes before birth should be treated differently from the same woman killing the same child five minutes after birth.

Of course Christ’s forgiveness is available to women who have abortions, but for that matter it is equally available to Jeff Dahmer and Ted Bundy (or was, both gentlemen being deceased).
