I am disgusted with individuals who claim to be pro-life, yet condone the abhorrent illegal activities that are becoming commonplace at our nation's abortion facilities.
I oppose abortion, but I am becoming increasingly uncomfortable with the label ``pro-life'' if it means being associated with those who believe that any solution will come through breaking the law.
Operation Rescue and similar organizations that promote civil disobedience must understand that their actions are really in support of chaos. Civil disobedience is counterproductive to the goal of reducing the number of abortions through education and reasonable legislation.
Those who condone these crimes are, in effect, promoting abortion. They do not represent the vast majority of Americans who oppose abortion.
