In reply to the discussion: I need help from folks here who know the Bible: what did Jesus say about abortion? [View all]rsdsharp
(11,524 posts)That said, in the late 1980s I represented Planned Parenthood in a case in which we successfully obtained an injunction against the leader of the local Operation Rescue chapter to prevent her from going on PP property.
When she violated that injunction, we successfully sought to hold her in contempt. She was ordered to to spend 37 days in jail (reduced from 40 because the Judge didnt like the Biblical connections with that number.)
While in jail, she sent me a Christmas card (really!) with the following verse:
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
Matthew 18:6. (Ho ho ho)
So apparently, that was her justification for being virulently anti abortion.
