I’m looking at this from another angle, one not specifically tied
to the US Constitution and other man-made considerations
Abortion, like all murder, is, according to the Law of God,
MURDER, and the penalty prescribed for murder
is the public execution of the murderer.
There is no way, sorry poster above, but there is no way that
these men and women do not know that they are killing a developing human being.
They KNOW they are committing homicide. They KNOW it.
They might shove it out of their minds, but deep down, they know it.
So what I find ironic is that Catholics on these forums, **some of them **that is,
wax eloquent about turning in the poor welfare queen who stole a few hundred bucks
a month from the govt for a few years. She committed theft,
but according to the bible, her sin is FAR LESS SERIOUS than the sin of the murderer (and abortionists are mass murderers in fact).
Yet I see people saying “Turn her in! Report her!,” etc., knowing that this woman
will likely be put into a violent women’s prison where she will be daily hit on by predatory lesbians, beaten, attacked, raped with mop-handles and broomsticks and subjected to a demon-infested environment. What if she has repented of her sin? Should we risk subjecting a repentant Christian woman to that? Some would say, yes, she broke the law!! But abortion, murder, breaks an even HIGHER law than that of the state. It is murder, mass murder. Yet, when lifelong abortionists, like the founder of NARAL, repent and become Catholics, nobody yells or posts statements that “this man should get the electric chair for all his murders”, no, they show great compassion to the man. They WELCOME him into the church with great fanfare, inviting him to public speakings, book-signings, etc, as if his repentance not only made him right with God, but made him into a hero. So while the welfare queen rots in a dangerous prison, even if a repentant Christian, reported by her zealous, righteous, law-abiding fellow Catholics,
those same Catholics who put her away for a MUCH LESSER sin, welcome the mass murderer with joy and compassion and zeal, into the church.
I am not sure how to feel about this real phenomenon or what to make of it.
I, too, am glad for Nathanson’s repentance. I am glad he is a Catholic now, growing in grace. But would he be able to grow in grace if, like our repentant welfare queen who got reported and sent up, he were subjected to a brutal, blasphemous, sodomy-filled, racism-filled, gang violence filled prison? I seriously doubt it !!
Thanks to the separation of church and state,
we forget that nearly all sin is, in fact, “crime” even if not prosecuted by the state.
Adulterers, abortionists, etc, who deserve the death penalty hundreds of times over,
are welcomed with great compassion, and told not to be scrupulous, etc, that God has forgotten their sins, etc., while people who, biblically, are guilty of things far less serious, are sent up the river to rot. And Catholics turn them in. While welcoming repentant baby killers. (continued in next post))
