EDIT And all this ignores the fact that you cannot advance a cause through fear, only through truth. The ONLY way we're going to stop abortion in this country is through reasoning and proofs, proving that that bundle of human tissue is actually a human being. Making people fear us will simply make them hate us, and making them hate us does nothing except hurt the truth.
People won't understand that truth about grown human beings whose right to exist they accept in principle. When it's a life they don't have to ever look at, can keep secret, and removes a massive inconvenience, they are NEVER going to accept the truth. We can pat ourselves on the back for being better than them, but at some point, I have to wonder whether or not it might be better to do something about it. As I said above, oderint dum metuant. Let them hate the pro-life movement (remember, we are not a disenfranchised minority fighting for equal rights, where hatred would not serve our cause, we are fighting to preserve the LIVES, not quality of life, for an absolutely helpless set of victims, incapable of doing anything to help their cause - next to that, what are our reputations worth? ), if they are going to be too terrified to walk into an abortion mill.
My position on the issue is that I am personally opposed to it. I would never do it myself. I believe it to be wrong and a great tragedy. But I can't presume to judge someone who WOULD do such a thing, because I have not walked a mile in their shoes. I can't speak to the experiences or personal values that would incite or permit another individual to do such a thing, so I cannot, in good conscience, condemn a person who performs a terminal procedure on an abortionist. I say, let's make the killing of abortion doctors safe, legal and rare.
