Hab 1:2-4 ESV O LORD, how long shall I cry for help, and you will not hear? Or cry to you “Violence!” and you will not save? (3) Why do you make me see iniquity, and why do you idly look at wrong? Destruction and violence are before me; strife and contention arise. (4) So the law is paralyzed, and justice never goes forth. For the wicked surround the righteous; so justice goes forth perverted.

Last night, I was watching this 2.5 hour long documentary on abortion called Lake of Fire. I figure it’s something I’ve been taking a stance on lately and it’s worth watching something like this. The documentary is supposed to be “even handed”, and to a certain extent it is. But they spend about half of it covering Christian and Catholic vigilantism.

Anyway, regardless of the inherent spin the documentarian put in it, those are actual incidents and rationales. I kind of felt like there was a flaw in the rationale for the vigilante, however. I mean, the argument is as follows:

1. Babies are human beings from conception
2. Human beings have a right to life
3. If I kill someone in defense of a human being, it is a justified action (defending the life of another)

1. Therefore, killing an abortionist who would kill a human baby in the womb is a justified action

So these guys go out and take a shotgun to abortion doctors.
