It was quite chilling to open the paper and see pro-life Christians (?) using Bible verses in support of the most anti-Christian of acts - murder. Scripture passages have been contorted to support some unlikely acts in the past, but this is positively convoluted!
Those who would choose violence in the name of their cause must not be confused with true Christians. Christians are those who endeavor to be as Christlike as possible. A frightened, pregnant woman considering an abortion could even turn to a Christian and receive compassion instead of condemnation. It's possible that Christians in the line of duty are among the victims of those who have killed abortion-clinic personnel.
