  1. I agree completely. I hate what they are doing but some hate what I stand for and would silence me if possible. Thanks for blogging this with clarity.

    I, sadly, wholeheartedly agree with your position that to keep our right to free speech, we must protect the freedom of others to use speech that offends us. I would add that we need to keep our offensiveness to a minimum. We must preach the danger of hell and Christ crucified, but we should do it in as inoffensive way as possible since humanity’s vileness and helplessness is enough of an offense.
    As to protesting abortion, PLEASE do not use graphic posters. My wife and I were on our way to a prenatal appointment (at a regular hospital) for our first child, we passed some protesters and my wife was traumatized by a picture of baby limbs in a trash can and is still bothered by the memory eleven years later.

    • Jeremy, you make an excellent point with some of the graphic posters that are used to protest abortion. They are trying to “target” a small portion of the population, not realizing the negative impact they have on others who are experiencing their first pregnancy (as in your case), those who may have had abortions and now are recovering from that – dealing with their pain, and others.

      We need to show Christ in all we do.

      Thanks for your thoughts and sharing your experience.
