Oh, that is so juicy and rotting I can't help to reply!  I am not without
sin.  No person is.  God will exact judgement for each of us in His time.
Man exacts judgement and punishes as man sees fit.  Jesus' philosophy of
love and brotherhood commands us to love one another as we love Him and
love ourselves.  The true spirit of pro-life is to love a woman who is
considering abortion and to love her even if she has an abortion.  Love
is ever lacking in the decision-making process and in the act of abortion!
It is a myth that children born of an unwanted pregnancy are necessarily
abused!  Child abuse is independent, in general, of whether or not a child
was born of a wanted pregnancy!  It is not the object of the pro-life
movement to "throw stones".  The two main objectives of the pro-life
movement are to love the mother and save the baby.  It is inconsistent to
support by our silence the destruction of human life.  Perhaps the "higher
law" Ken Arndt was referring to was "Love one another as you love Me" or
"Thou Shalt not Kill" or "I was lonely and in trouble and you comforted
Me".
