An
apology for Paul Hill Days
An
acquaintance informed me that he was pro-life, but he told me he
disagreed with those who blocked clinic doors. “It is radicals
like them that turn normal people away from our cause,” he
explained “people do not like to be associated with
extremists.” Those who hold pictures of aborted babies are
branded extremists by many pro-lifers. Most pro-lifers view the
shooting of abortion doctors as extreme. So what is the norm?
This
acquaintance does not realize that he is the extremist; his
position is extremely weak toward the routine assembly line
executions of innocent children. He has no understanding of the
tragic enormity of this crime. He has no sense for the humanity
and worth of the 4000 children systematically killed each day in
American death camps. The gravity of aborticide is not fully
realized among those who identify themselves as “pro-life.”
Most
pro-lifers try to win people to themselves rather than winning
them to the truth. They shun the harsh realities of abortion by
their unwillingness to use pictures of aborted babies. They do not
want to offend a potential convert. They are the bland leading the
bland. They focus on what is best for the mother believing they
are indirectly helping her baby. It is a false presupposition. The
mother’s selfish interests are often contrary to the best
interests of her baby. Nature itself dictates the baby’s life is
paramount to the mother’s selfish interests. “And the
poor wren, the most diminutive of birds, will fight against the
owl to protect her young.” Shakespeare
Some
pro-lifers allow rape, incest, fetal deformity, or life of the
mother exceptions for abortion. Would they allow these same
exceptions for post-born children? Is it not unthinkable to kill a
post-born child conceived in rape or incest? Do we kill post-born
children who are deformed? The reason for this double standard is
these pro-lifers do not view pre-born children as fully human,
entitled to equal protection under the law. If the pre-born child
is not fully human, than we have no business interfering in a
mothers choice in “terminating her pregnancy.” If the pre-born
are fully human our response to baby-murder is pathetically weak.
The
Bible gives 15 reasons why people should be put to death, yet most
Pro-lifers are against the death penalty. They often argue from
fuzzy feelings, human reason, or warped theology rather than
divining the Word of God. Sometimes a little scripture is woven
into their argument, but they ultimately rest on a false notion of
love. They believe their wicked deceitful hearts to be more loving
than God. Everything has a counterfeit and love without justice is
a false love. Jesus didn’t do away with the justice of the death
penalty, His cruel scourging, and crucifixion satisfied justice as
payment for our sins. Jesus exemplified love by enduring death on
our behalf.
God’s
representatives should be standing firmly on God’s authority.
There is no authority which represents God apart from His Word.
The Bible is very clear about abortion and what our response
should be. Abortion is murder, cold-blooded, premeditated murder.
God declares that the just penalty for a murderer is death and
eternal damnation (Genesis 9:5-6; Romans 1: 29-32; Revelation 21:
8; 22:15; 1 Corinthians 6:9-10).
The
nicer-than-Jesus folks oppose this plain teaching of Scripture.
They deny the authority and teachings of the Old Testament, they
act as if God is schizophrenic, or Jesus and God are not the same
Being. God has not changed His mind about aborticide and
capital punishment. Jesus and his disciples did not quote the New
Testament, They always quoted from the Old Testament (1 Timothy
3:16; John 5:39).
Heretics
create a Christ in their image after their likeness by selecting
some passages of Scripture and excluding others, they do this to
prove their man-made doctrines. While the simple are deceived,
those who read their Bibles best, best understand this deception.
Paul
Hill Days are being observed in Milwaukee, Wisconsin July 26-29,
2007. The purpose of this tour is to expose pro-life heresy,
declare God’s word, and proclaim the humanity and worth of the
pre-born child.
Paul
Hill is God’s standard for our response to abortion on demand.
Paul Hill’s response to baby-murder was biblical and
appropriate. As many misunderstand Paul Hill’s motive and action
it is best to clarify a few points.
- Paul
Hill did not murder an abortionist. Is impossible to murder an
abortionist?
- Paul
Hill was justified in using deadly force against this
assassin. Had he prevented the murder of kindergarten children
in a classroom rather than pre-born children at an abortion
clinic, pro-lifers and media alike would have lauded him a
hero.
- Paul
Hill did not execute vengeance; he acted in defense of the
pre-born. American jurisprudence recognizes that acting in
defense of others is justifiable as is self-defense.
- Paul
Hill did not use too much force in protecting the pre-born,
deadly force is justifiably used against deadly force.
- Paul
Hill did not get a fair trial. The judge denied him his only
defense. He could not argue the humanity of the pre-born and
the justifiable use of force to protect them. He remained mute
throughout his trial.
Had
Paul Hill been permitted to argue his case, he should have been
acquitted. The jury should have realized Paul
Hill was justified in protecting these helpless children. Even if
the jury ruled against him Paul Hill was still biblically correct
in protecting these children.
Is
it not possible for one man to be right while the whole world is
wrong? Is it not Possible?
Pro-lifers
are stymied by this implication. If Paul Hill is right, are we not
duty bound to do what he did? The answer for me is yes and no.
Paul Hill had more love for God and his neighbor in his trigger
finger than I have in my entire body. I do not love God or my
pre-born neighbor as much as I love myself. I do not love the
pre-born as much as Paul Hill loved them. I am unwilling to face
the consequences of following Paul Hill’s example. I am
insensible to the killing of the highest animal life, but my
pro-life proclivities prevent me from killing the lowest human
life, such is my nature. As a pagan, a soldier in the U.S. Army, I
realized I could not kill a man without greatly distressing my own
conscience and being.
On
an intellectual level I put my personal fears, and feelings aside
and agree with God’s word. I do not lower God’s standard to
accommodate my weaknesses. I do not try to convince myself or
others that I have more love than I do. There is nobody who lives
up to God’s standards, nobody but Jesus Christ. Paul Hill did
better than most of us in fulfilling God’s law. He came closer
to loving God with his whole heart, mind, soul, and strength than
anyone I know. He loved his pre-born neighbor as himself. He
treated the pre-born slated for abortion as a brave father
protecting his children.
Recently
the Alabama legislature issued an apology, 150 years overdue, for
its legalization of slavery. Paul Hill Days is our present day
attempt to apologize for the injustice done to Paul Hill and over
50 million children.
