Some fool set some kind of incendiary device on the outside windowsill of a local Planned Parenthood abortion clinic in our area Sunday evening. What seems to have been a kind of 'molatov cocktail' caused a small fire that burned itself out before fire teams arrived, and caused minimal damage to one of the clinic's exam rooms. The clinic could not open Monday, but will be back in business by Tuesday. 1
I call the unknown perpetrator a fool for he is at least that. Even though it seems he or she planned the attack for a time when it was unlikely that someone might be hurt (and no one was in this case), somebody may very well have been seriously hurt, or even killed. The fool is probably guilty of attempted murder for all we know.
There is no allowance for such dangerous and criminal tactics among serious pro life citizens. The only valid goal of a pro life advocate, or of a pro life organization, is to save the lives of the defenseless unborn babies. And the only valid means to that end are found through the elements of compassionate persuasion such as caring conversation, sharing information, and the real offer of practical helps that support the child and its father and mother. Prayer, a passionate conversation between a believer and his or her God, is another effective and legitimate approach to seeing babies saved.
Anyway, the thing that led me to 'vent' on this subject today was something said as part of a radio news report I heard this afternoon. I can't remember if it was part of a 'tease' that was given before a commercial break regarding the above report which was soon to be aired or not, but the announcer said: "Something terrible happened at an abortion clinic in the valley last night."
Did you catch the irony?
I may be venting tonight about the fool who somehow imagined that his fooling with a homemade bomb would do some good work; the fool who may easily have injured some body; the fool who only gave fair ammunition to those who tolerate the 'choice', or profit from the abortion industry; but my heart breaks at the thought of the 'terrible' that happens to so many Grandbabies at every abortion clinic every day.

Welcome to the brand new MILLERVENTS blog! Not to worry. If you stand back a little bit, or maybe a lot sometimes, you won't get burned. Although if you feel the same way I do about a few things, you may get steamed, or for that matter, if you feel the exact opposite way about my vented rant, you may get even more steamed by my outrageous claims! Oh well. I have to let it out anyway, and the comment section can be your pressure release valve.

I wish pro life meant pro all life.
ReplyDeleteYes. That's why I chastise any who would use anarchistic violence to stop even the legal violence.
DeleteThe main distinction we all might agree on is that we be pro INNOCENT life.
