Around Town / Kotz / Law and Order Showdown at the Nashville Planned Parenthood on Saturday
Posted by Pete Kotz on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 5:32 AM
The protest is scheduled from 9-11 a.m. at Planned Parenthood's clinic at 412 Dr. D.B. Todd Blvd. Fortunately or not, this also happens to be the same day anti-abortionists hold their annual The Pill Kills Day, a protest against all things birth control in which they celebrate by screaming at pregnant ladies and women getting PAP smears. (What Would Jesus Do? He'd mumble something about Biblical reading comprehension and getting a new job.)
The clinic purposely chose the day to protest domestic "terrorism" and show that it won't be cowed in closing its doors.

"What would Jesus do?"
The Bible does not specifically prohibit abortion: abortion is not once explicitly prohibited in any of the Ten Commandments; abortion is not once explicitly prohibited in any of the 613 Old Testament laws attributed to Moses and others, and; abortion is not once explicitly prohibited by Jesus or by any of his disciples in the New Testament.
The best that Tennessee Right to Life and its cultish, pseudo-biblical followers can cough up from the Bronze Age is to apply a literal translation of Semitic poetry (more specifically, assuming literal meaning to allegory or poetic "wild exaggeration") in their zeal against pregnant women.
What is perhaps unrealized about Tennessee Right to Life and the Tennessee Right to Life endorsed members of the Tennessee General Assembly is that these Tennessee Right to Life cultists do not merely believe that "life begins at conception", but rather, "...that life begins at or even before conception", implying that the use of contraceptives and birth control is just as evil (in the view of Tennessee Right to Life) as abortion.
But you will not readily find this information at the Tennessee Right to Life index page, but instead, you will need to view the site map for this anti-choice group and find the TRTL hidden "Biblical Quotes" web page:

Thank God these brave people are standing up and making a statement to the Christianist Terrorists. (btw, i am personally a Christian, or at least try to follow the gentle way of Christ).
Firstly the Bible doesn’t have to specifically lay out every sin in detail for it to be a sin. The argument that something is not wrong because it is not specifically prohibited is ridiculous. The Bible never mentions child pornography, the bible never mentions not slamming planes into buildings, the Bible never says don’t throw acid in people’s faces. The only pseudo biblical follower are those that 1) believer such foolishness, and 2) are willing to honor a murderer of children. Scriptures are clear, for those that actually want to submit their lives to its teaching. God knows you before you are even born (PS 22:9, 71:6, Isaiah 44:2). To abort a growing child is to kill a child and commit infanticide. The bible does record instances where children are killed in the womb. In fact Ammon was punished because they “because they have ripped up the women with child of Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.” (Amos 1:13). Men and women, blinded by their own ignorance, may honor this man. Yet when Tiller meets the Great Judge on that day, the only abortion he will wish to commit is his own. He will see that it would have been far better had he been the one not born.
