Dear Pro-Life Advocate,
Am in receipt of recent correspondence from Don Treshman of Rescue America. His letter demands that all who will be attending an upcoming combined Rescue America and Operation Rescue event sign a pledge of nonviolence. While I understand Don's motivation of unification with Flip Benham of Operation Rescue, I believe that the demand for non-violence in regard to the imminent deaths of innocent human beings is totally misguided and is a work of Satan. To promise to be peaceful while innocent human beings are being murdered would be unconscionable.
The concept of achieving desired goals through nonviolent intervention is highly laudable. It is born of the desire to obtain success in the cause of the unborn by following in the footsteps of such notables as Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. The actions of these men and their followers accomplished the desired goals. There was however a big difference between their goals and the reason for the pro-life activity of our age.
Mahatma Gandhi, who died Jan 30, 1948, was internationally esteemed for his doctrine of nonviolence to achieve political and social progress. He was the leader of the Indian nationalist movement against British rule. Because of the nature of their cause, and the military strength of the British government, it would have been counter-productive to use violence which would have resulted in the deaths of large numbers of their own people while inflicting little damage upon relatively peaceful, perhaps even benevolent, occupation forces.
Martin Luther King, Jr., who died April 4, 1968, led the mass civil rights movement in which he applied principles of nonviolent resistance to the struggle for racial equality. As with the Indian nationalist movement there was a generally peaceful, though unjust, coexistence with those who were seen as oppressors. There was no imminent need for violent protective action. Note: Nonviolent tactics will only work when those with whom they are being used against are practicing Christians, generally peaceful -- opposed to unnecessary suffering and death --, and primarily just. They will never work against those who have, as their foundation of life, love of both sin and death of the innocent. Such people have general ambivalence towards God. Depending upon their current impulses they hypocritically espouse a relationship with God. They are either false or non-believers without a proper sense of truth and justice.In the desire for humanized peace and nonviolence, the true meaning behind, and the true purpose of the anti-abortion movement has been neutralized. The concept of imminent death of innocent human beings has been subrogated to, or coexists with, the pro-abortion concept that somehow a preborn person does not actually have the full value to God of a born person; a person not only of body but with soul and spirit. The pro-life movement, including the rescue movement, while desiring to achieve the good end of saving innocent human life, is in effect denying the reality of the existence of the lives they are trying to protect when they decry the wielding of licit, even if not civilly lawful, means which are useable and necessary to immediately save clearly innocent lives now in the process of being killed. Such a position should be seen as an abomination to the Lord. One cannot logically take a position which has opposing realities. To insist upon the signing of promises to be nonviolent when death of the innocent is occurring is a ludicrous and even a psychotic position to take.
Enclosed is a copy of a document I recently mailed to the Vatican in regard to this question. Even though a large number who will be receiving this letter are not Catholic -- it is written from a Catholic perspective -- I believe you may find it both interesting and informative. It would be edifying to have your answers to the questions submitted.
As always, I will be interested in hearing any well thought out comments you may have. Thus far comments in opposition to the position I have taken have been based upon humanism, emotion, and misuse of Scripture.
A most evil belief is that a murderer of innocent children should not have his or her life terminated. This belief goes directly against God's express will stated in Genesis 9:6, "Who ever sheds the blood of man by man shall his blood be shed." God is unchangeable. His is totally consistent. If this were not true there would be no reason to accept His teachings or to have faith in Him.
For over twenty years now pro-lifers in America have been peacefully protesting while over thirty million people, their fellow citizens and co-children of God, have been cruelly slaughtered. It is past time for the pro-life mentality to upgrade to accepting the reality that innocent life is being terminated while protesters pray and are being nonviolent about the great violence which is taking place around them.
sincerely in Christ,
