I am not without sin. No person is. God will exact judgement for each of us in His time. Man exacts judgement and punishes as man sees fit. Jesus' philosophy of love and brotherhood commands us to love one another as we love Him and love ourselves. The true spirit of pro-life is to love a woman who is considering abortion and to love her even if she has an abortion. Love is ever lacking in the decision-making process and in the act of abortion! It is a myth that children born of an unwanted pregnancy are necessarily abused! Child abuse is independent, in general, of whether or not a child was born of a wanted pregnancy! It is not the object of the pro-life movement to "throw stones". The two main objectives of the pro-life movement are to love the mother and save the baby. It is inconsistent to support by our silence the destruction of human life. Perhaps the "higher law" Ken Arndt was referring to was "Love one another as you love Me" or "Thou Shalt not Kill" or "I was lonely and in trouble and you comforted Me". Matt Noah

"Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them; for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 19.14 "Truly, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will never enter the kingdm of heaven." Matthew 18.3 "Whoever humbles himself like this child, he is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven." Matthew 18.4 "Whoever receives one such child in my name receives me; but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a great millstone fastened round his neck and to be drowned in the depth of the sea." Matthew 18.5-6 Jesus thought the world of children and their simplistic attitude toward life, but more than that he appreciated their simple faith.
