>>Oddly enough many of the people who so fervently want to protect the unborn have no problem in blowing up doctors, nurses, security guards or innocent bystanders. This seems completely illogical to me.<<

X,

You have to remember that if you take the view of the pro-life movement to it's ultimate conclusion, those "doctors, nurses, security guards..." are killing innocent human beings, thus taking a life in that situation could be rationalized, committing one crime to prevent potentially hundreds of others. It would be the same attitude as killing the executioners at Dachau or Treblinka in the hope of preserving the lives of the innocent. Most people would "wish for" the death of the executioner, but few would have the courage of their convictions to carry it out. It is a dilemma of profound proportions if you reason the pro-life stance to it's ultimate end.. bp
