[quote=the cave master]Martin Luther King Jr. was arrested multiple, multiple times. What are you suggesting? Sometimes, to be arrested to point out the injustice of a law, is, in reality, showing the highest regard for the law (i.e. that it should be just). This is a paraphrase of what Martin Luther King Jr. said in "Letter from Birmingham Jail."[/QUOTE

Are you suggesting that if a person fights for a cause,and they think that a law is unjust (i.e "sometimes to be arrested to point out the injustice of a law, is, in reality , showing the highest regard for the law") that its ok to break the law? isn't that what anti abortion radicals are doing? If in your eyes its ok for someone to break the law for a cause, then why isn't it ok for...... say someone to do the same against legalized abortion if they think its unjust???

I know you're not saying it was justified protest that killed Dr. Tiller. Are you? Anti-abortion protesters have been arrested, of course. I believe in non-violent protest. I don't care for grown men yelling "baby killer" at an often already frightened young woman; however, if the person's "heart" is to point out injustice, if the method is non-violence, if the tactic includes respect for human dignity, friend or enemy alike, then I would say the spirit of the thing has Christian leanings.
