Chapter 11: God’s Eternal Character

care of the issue is one instruction I’ve personally heard from Christian authorities. Really? Is that biblical?

On the other side of the issue of judging are people like Paul J. Hill 5,

the 49-year old former Presbyterian minister who gunned down a Florida abortion doctor. His state execution is scheduled for tonight. Paul Hill said that he felt no remorse and suggested that the state will be making him a martyr. This is the first execution in the United States for anti-abortion violence according to the news on MSNBC.

For Paul Hill, this isn’t “anti-abortion violence” like MSNBC 6 and other media sources euphemistically report. For him it is a fully rationale act easy to comprehend. If you just kill one abortion doctor, you can save

hundreds perhaps thousands of babies from being killed. Paul Hill was executed in a humane way with a lethal injection. But in Paul Hill’s mind, the abortion doctors are literally butchering new babies by tearing their limbs apart one at a time to excise them from their mother’s uterus. No

painkillers and it’s not a pretty picture. There is a growing body of scientific evidence that supports his thinking. How about the fact that babies are now observed with ultrasound “running away” from the doctor’s killing tools? That is to say they are trying to get the farthest away from the doctor in the

mother’s womb to avoid being killed.

How about the fact that fertilized eggs in the embryonic stage can be adopted out to an infertile woman and grown within her own uterus? The

embryo then grows into a full-fledged baby. Some of these embryo implants are reported to be entering teen years or adulthood. Think about this. It is a fact that if we kill a fertilized egg in the embryonic stage, we kill human life in that stage of development. Placed in a willing mother’s womb, the embryo has all he or she needs to grow into a full human baby. I suspect

God is bringing science into the arena to help educate us on the miracle of childbirth. Quite frankly, Paul Hill has more than enough scientific facts to rationalize his position on killing what he would term legalized baby killers. Yet, did Paul Hill actually do God’s will with his act of murder?
