I don't necessarily condone the camera thing. I certainly don't agree with the shouting. But many in the pro-life community feel desparate. If they protest at the clinic they are treated like racketeers. If they open alternative centers politically minded attorneys-general try to shut them down. If they pray within 300 feet of a clinic (kneeling silently on private ground) a judge has them declared in contempt of court. If they try to get a documentary film together describing the pain the fetus goes through the first-amendment supporting press refuses to run it. They can't even print a photo of a fetus grasping a surgeon by the finger through an opening in a pregnant woman's abdomen? What do they do?
You see, everytime a woman goes into an abortion clinic, someone dies. You know this and you are made more than powerless to stop it, you are made out to be the criminal? That sort of internal conflict has driven men insane before.
We should be able to rely on the peace of G-d to help us not become insane, to not internalize our failure to stop this madness, to not cry out in the night from the nightmares that come when we think of the millions who have been slaughtered while we have been forced by the tolerant to stand by silently. Fortunately, I have been able to rely on His peace. Bernard Slepian (sp?) and this character, apparently, have not been so blessed.
Shall I condemn them for that lack of blessing? (I do condemn Slepian for his crime).
Shalom.
