Here’s an old item from the dawn of Bad Attitudes that I just came across. Sadly, it’s still relevant.
The Reverend Michael Bray of the Reformation Lutheran Church in Bowie, Maryland, runs an annual benefit banquet for imprisoned murderers, bombers, arsonists and other criminals in the anti-abortion movement:“For example, he said, Paul Hill, convicted for the 1994 killings of a doctor who performed abortions and his escort in Florida, sent along a letter listing the ten commandments. Mr. Malvasi’s contributions to the charity auction, Mr. Bray said, included the watch he used as a timing device in a bombing attempt in the 1980s.
“‘You can understand the level of levity here,’ Mr. Bray said. He added that the items sold for amounts up to $100.” (New York Times, March 31, 2001)
Once again, because it cannot be repeated enough, under Jewish law, life does not begin until there is breath, ruach. And Jesus did not say that life began before breath, he said that when a woman was being punished for sexual indiscretion to let who is without sin throw the first stone, i.e., leave her be.

"And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."
Now there's no other way to interpret that except that you aren't a human and don't have a soul until you breathe your first breath. A fetus doesn't breathe. So these clowns who are against abortion don't even have ANY scripture to back them up in their conclusions except some nonsense based on what some preacher told them and not what's in the Bible.
Thus the anti-abortionists are non-believers; false-prophets, possessed by the devil, Pharisee like, demon haunted, spreaders of the Devil's message and I guess if I could go on and on and on if I knew more fundamentalists names for persons who spread the word of the many Anti-Christ's, the ministers and church leaders, all false prophets, who come up with false beliefs to turn neighbor against neighbor.
Nor are they Christians as they claim to be but are followers of authoritarians, mostly churches and ministers, all false prophets, who try to turn the righteous into the non righteous.
Thus ends my Biblically based rant for the day.
