To those who condone the taking of life in the fight against abortion, a fight I am 100 percent in agreement with, let me paraphrase Matthew 7:22:
``Many will say to me in that day, `Lord, Lord, have we not shut down abortion clinics in your name, taken the lives of baby killers in your name and done many wonderful acts instilling fear in the hearts of those responsible for the deaths of millions of babies in your name?'''
How would Jesus respond? I believe in the same way he responded nearly 2,000 years ago (Matthew 7:23):
``And then will I declare to them, `I never knew you; depart from me, you who practice lawlessness!'''
