As much as I hate to admit it, while I view both abortion doctors and militant
anti-abortionists as equally murderous, at least the abortion doctor is acting
within the bounds of the law.
The abortion terrorist is not, and has no biblical basis for carrying out
such violence. Biblical teachings are quite clear that a Christian has every
right to refrain from an action he/she deems unbiblical, but at the same time
has no right to terrorize those who endorse, engage in, and perform that
same action.
