Because it wouldn’t be effective. The women would call the police, I’d get put in prison for assault/kidnapping (losing the ability to vote for pro-life politicians), and then the women would get the abortion anyway, and moderates on the fence would look at me and say, “pro lifers are wackos. I’m against them.”
So the only reason you wouldn’t kidnap a woman trying to get an abortion is because you think you’d probably get caught?
I can't imagine anyone being comfortable with making children (even as young as ten!) giving birth to children. How sick can you be to live with yourself and yet hold that view?
How sick can you be to want to snuff the life of an unborn child out? That's a fair question. My unborn grandchild felt pain when aborted, more pain than you would accept if it were a convicted murderer dying by lethal injection. (Yes, I can fight melodrama with melodrama.)
Do you think your daughter/daughter-in-law is a murderer? Do you think they’re going to Hell for murdering their own child? If they gave birth and smothered their newborn, would you feel differently?
The only thing people go to Hell for is rejecting the Salvation of Jesus Christ. They choose not to believe and not to accept the only propitiation for their Sin, which is the Redemptive Work of Jesus Christ on the Cross.
I do not believe that people who have abortions (or, for that matter, abortion doctors) have murderous intent when they do what they do. But God does consider it the taking of Innocent Human Life. My prayer for all those that have had abortions is that they realize that God loves them and wants them to come to Christ. My prayer for God's Church is that we be ready to minister to all that would come to him.
That's a dodge. Answer the question.
That's not a Dodge. That's a bottom line. If it's not good enough for you, too bad.
When someone asks a yes or no question, refusing to directly answer yes or no is a dodge.
His answer seemed pretty clear to me. He wrote:
"The only thing people go to Hell for is rejecting the Salvation of Jesus Christ."Therefore, even though he does think that abortion is murder, he doesn't think murder on its own makes someone go to Hell.
He also wrote:
"I do not believe that people who have abortions (or, for that matter, abortion doctors) have murderous intent when they do what they do."So in terms of moral judgment, he doesn't think that the people having abortions know what they're doing is wrong, and so he's not going to think of them the same way he does someone who knows that they're doing something wrong. But even if they did, it sounds like he doesn't think that would be enough to merit going to Hell.
