Thread Name: BS: Where Is The Outpouring?
Subject: RE: BS: Where Is The Outpouring?
I should like to point out to Keith that I did not refer to the murderous types who kill doctors, assault women or damage the clinics. I said the people who harass women at abortion clinics. That's the aggressive shouters and the placard-wavers and the faux-prayerful hectorers. I don't think they have the moral right to do any of that, whatever the law says. They are seen as mainstream by many Christians, as doing the right thing in opposing abortion in that manner. They are actually out to intimidate, if not terrorise, vulnerable women. I think that people who oppose abortion are utterly misguided, but that they are entitled to express themselves in peaceful and non-confrontational ways that don't attack or intimidate individual women or doctors. That's what I would call mainstream. What would you call mainstream, Keith?
