Jesus and Genocide
A lady wrote me the other day complaining about my friend Neal Boortz. She claimed Neal recently characterized pro-lifers as people who simply wanted to control women’s bodies. She said she didn’t like that. In fact, she said she tried to call in to Neal’s show to correct him but that he wouldn’t take her call. She didn’t like that either so she called me and asked me to call Neal to straighten him out because she has heard me on his show a lot – this meaning Neal must always take my calls even though I’m pro-life.
But I have some bad news for the lady. I’m not going to straighten Neal out any time soon. Instead, I’m going to straighten out the pro-life movement, which is not in a position to straighten out Neal Boortz for over-simplifying our position - this because we’ve been doing a good job of it on our own as of late.
Let me explain.
A very, very good article!
I must add, though, in our fight against infanticide that every weapon in our arsenal should be available and employed at the proper time and/or venue. As one who has had an abortion and so speaks from experience, I have participated in many Life "-Walks", -talks, and "-chains", and I have always chosen to hold signs with and spread the message of forgiveness and healing for those who have already been touched by horror that is abortion. There is an appropriate place and time for different aspects of the pro-life argument. I would agree with Prof. Adams that it may be quite inappropriate to go into commando-mode on a college campus -- that should be reserved for addressing our CONgresscritters up in Washington who can't seem to get it through their thick skulls that abortion stops a beating heart and deprives a living person of their right to life.
