Hate Mail

I’ve written before about the hate mail we get on a regular basis here at Pro-Life Action League/Generations for Life/Families Against Planned Parenthood. As you might guess, with all the attention these past several weeks surrounding the fight against the Abortion Fortress of Aurora, we’ve been seeing far more hate mail than usual.

Now, the temptation we feel is to respond to hatred with hatred of our own. And it’s hard to imagine anything more vile than telling someone you hope their 12-year old daughter gets raped. But, as I recently said in a comment on another post on this blog, we as pro-lifers must resist this temptation. We can’t stoop to the level of hating anyone. Period. Bryan Kemper of Stand True illustrated this point brilliantly in a recent commentary titled “Loving compassionate pro-life vs. Angry anti-abortion”. It begins:
