I'm wondering what you two theoreticians have done that has been more effective in raising the issue and preventing the monstrosity.

I haven't shamed the pro-life cause by engaging in criminal behavior for publicity if that is what you mean. Although I have been called "useless" because I refused to support the killing of abortion doctors.

I'm fairly clear on what you HAVEN'T done. That wasn't the question.

I really would appreciate if you would go back and answer my actual questions -- I've asked you several. I am interested in your answer.

shamed the pro-life cause by engaging in criminal behavior

Again, I suppose Rahab "shamed the Israelite cause by engaging in criminal behavior." How dare both James and the author of Hebrews cite her favorably in the New Testament! I suppose you'll need to take them to task when you get to heaven. Paul was called a trouble-maker, was accused of being an assassin, was repeatedly arrested. That black sheep, Paul. He was such a nuisance to our prideful reputation.

for publicity

There you go, judging Randy Alcorn's motives. So glad you can venture into his heart & know what his motivation was. You can judge a man's fruit--his behavior--but not his motives. You're superimposing the motive.

Believe me, pro-life folks can protest without risking arrest if they just wanted to do so for publicity sake. When they do so, those are symbolic gestures. When they risk arrest, those are NOT symbolic gestures.

Just be thankful that Jesus didn't simply make "a symbolic prayerful gesture" from heaven to save us. Instead, He came down to earth in human form to bodily block the door to hell on our behalf. It wasn't a publicity stunt. It wasn't symbolic. It wasn't a gesture. It riled the prince of this earth and the religious & political authorities. It was pure self-sacrifice.

I like what Randy Alcorn has done for the pre-born better than what most pro-lifers in name only have not done for the pre-born.

Do you know this Pastor personally? I'm just wondering because the article shows a man with a lifetime commitment to God, yet you insist he protested for a few minutes of publicity. Perhaps you could share your personal knowledge with us.

Although I have been called "useless" because I refused to support the killing of abortion doctors.

I missed the part where the Pastor said he advocated killing abortion doctors....Is this more personal knowledge?

I like your tagline....so, how are you part of the solution?
