How far are you willing to go for pro-life sake?

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, mod plz move if I’m in the wrong place.

Personally, I am willing to face serious legal trouble (read: Imprisonment) (no. I’m not blowing up any clinics.) and serious physical trouble (read: get beaten to a pulp) for pro-life sake.

Wow, I don’t know. I never thought about it. I guess I should, though. I think I’d be willing to face imprisonment. I doubt we could become a society that kills pro-life people, so I’m not sure if I would be willing to give up my own for the sake of others. It would be a terribly brave and Christlike thing to do, though.

Thank you for this thought-provoking question. It makes me think about my own weaknesses, and further, makes me more resolved to always vote for life.

You know what I would do? I would have a padlock crafted that had no keyhole so that you couldn’t unlock it easily at all if you forgot the combo. I’d get a chain. I’d chain the doors of a clinic shut so no one could enter.

Every time I have a choice to pray the rosary in front of an abortion clinis. Being a public emplyee…that could get me fired even if is on public property. I’d fight it, but there are soooo many ways to terminate someone. I could get fired for a bounced check. So every time I choose to go I’ve chosen to accept getting fired. And with the right motivation and the numbers there I’d go to war over this issue. It’s a cause worth dying for. It would certainly make a point. That we’re not willing to put up with the murder of inocent babies. If this ever leads to a civil war, and part of me hopes it will, sorry, then I bet the bishops would take the stand that it is a just war. I don’t know. But a few years ago my solution to the constant problems in the Middle East was to Nuke em. But now that I am trying to form my conscience like a Catholic, that’s not an option…is it? Blowing up abortion clinics bothers me and seems self defeating. I can see how people could in some way justify to themselves that they are doing good…but it isn’t …is it? So take my comments with a grain of salt. But I would risk it all on some days.

This is one scary thread.

Maybe y’all should get out and join your Catholic brethren in the 40 Days for Life campaign. Their motto - Peaceful, Prayerful, Lawful.

And they are saving babies, learning humility, and practicing charity.

You don’t say what you have in mind to do. Remember the Church officially teaches that the end does not justify the means. That means you cannot do bad to achieve a good.

I was named as a defendant in a $39 million lawsuit for merely praying silently across the street from the chop shops.

I never knew my poor prayers would do them so much damage, though that was the idea.

and after they used the back door or found bolt cutters, then what?

In my view, Abortionists and abortion clinic workers are on the same moral level as Adolph Hitler and his cast of demons. Whatever evil befalls these monsters, I do not mourn one bit. Is this attitude sinful?

Pro-Life silent prayer protestors have been assaulted, spit on, cursed, and some pro-choicers have even tried running them over with cars as they stand on sidewalks.

Like St. Peter, I’m willing to go to the grave if need be.

I was watching a movie about the holocaust, and was shocked to see the nazis in the mvie using the same arguments to justify killing innocent Jews that pro-aborts use to justify abortions.

“They’re not human, really. It’s for the best that we liquidate them now.”

Abortionists and their staff have been under some serious spiritual assault as people prayed outside the clinics. Many have been converted and have simply walked off the job.

Prayer does work!

I don’t know if it’s sinful, but it does not reflect a true Christian attitude.

Are we not expected to see Christ in ALL people? Are we not expected to love and pray for our enemies? What good is there in loving only those who love us?

Whether we like it or not, see it or not, believe it or not, these people are not “monsters” - they too are God’s creatures. If our Lord could forgive those who nailed Him to the cross, should we not at least try to emulate His mercy?

That’s a very good analogy…great tool to counter pro-abortion supporters!

Yes, we are called to look for christ in all people. May God forgive me, but I have a extremely difficult time seeing Christ in a person who dismembers live infants for money. The men who nailed Jesus to the cross did an awful thing and are guilty of great sin. But were following orders. The evil of the abortionist is unparalled in the history of humanity.

You might need a bit of perspective. There is no greater evil than that which crucified the Lord.

There have been unspeakable evils perpetrated against humanity since the dawn of time. Feeding Christians to the lions comes to mind. Torture, barbarism, human sacrifice - the list is endless.

Abortion is the current unspeakable evil - I’ll give you that. But maybe if you try to put evil into the context of human history, you may find yourself more capable of forgiveness, charity, and mercy.

As the Psalmist says, there is nothing new under the sun.

Hey, I was just expressing feelings. I wouldn’t actually kill someone over this. I think M. Gandi’s method may be best actually. But when you consider that the U.S. justified a war with Iraq, how much more do you think a war to defend the most vulnerable would be?

It is far better to pray that they may see the light and become allies in the fight against murdering babies.

 

[sanctamaria17]

I agree with the above poster.

 

[yellowbicycle]

A pro-choice friend said to me ‘I will be pro-life as soon as every pro-lifer out there is willing to take in a pregnant, poor, unwed teenage mother and her child’
‘Done’ I said.
‘What do you mean?’
‘Done. If there is ANY woman out there who says ‘The only way that I will not abort my baby is if you will care for it’ I don’t know a single pro-lifer that would not only WEEP FOR JOY at the very opportunity, but would fele privileged to do so’

And I think I’m right about that.
