Web sites allegedly promoting violence
 |
Pro-Life Virginia - Army of God at http://www.armyofgod.com/ This web
site quotes many biblical passages including:
 |
Luke 22:36: "...he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment,
and buy one."
|
 |
Jeremiah 48:10: "Cursed be he that doeth the work of the LORD
deceitfully, and cursed be he that keepeth back his sword from blood."
|
 |
Psalm 58:10: "The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the
vengeance:
he shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked."
|
Someone, perhaps webmaster Rev. Donald Spitz, stated on the web site:
"I believe helpless babies deserve to be protected and defended from
those who plan to kill them - just like the people in the World Trade
Center deserved to be defended. If someone was able to stop the terrorists
before they were able to crash the plane into the World Trade Center, that
someone would be deemed a hero. In the same manner those who stop babykilling [sic] abortionists from murdering innocent children are heroes."

The Christian Gallery at http://www.christiangallery.com/ promoted "God's plan for government [that] will one day be restored to its
rightful place of authority in the land you presently occupy." Sections
of its web site were devoted to people and organizations that are leading this restoration. One
section, titled the Nuremberg files, was ruled by a court as threatening abortion providers and was
heavily fined. Their internet service provider removed the entire website in 1999-FEB.
Included in
the Christian Gallery were:
 |
Pro-life Virginia at: http://www.christiangallery.com/ Their page had a large picture of Paul Hill, a former Presbyterian minister, who was
convicted of the murder of John Britton, an abortion provider in Pensacola FL. The caption
reads "American Hero"; they state that the reason why he is on death
row is that he saved "innocent babies from being murdered by babykilling [sic]
abortionist John Britton." No mention is made that Hill killed Dr. Britton, that
he killed a bodyguard Jim Barret, and that he wounded the bodyguard's wife.

Defenders of the Defenders of Life at: http://www.christiangallery.com/ They
published The Defensive Action Statement
"We the undersigned, declare the justice of taking all godly action necessary,
including the use of force, to defend innocent human life (born and unborn). We proclaim
that whatever force is legitimate to defend the life of a born child is [also] legitimate to
defend the life of an unborn child."
They further state that the murder of Dr. Britton was "morally justified if it
was necessary for the purpose of defending innocent human life." The statement
was signed by a number of Protestant, Roman Catholic and Orthodox pastors and priests,
heads of various Christian and anti-abortion groups, etc.

Capitol Area Christian News at: http://www.christiangallery.com/ In its review of local activities during the summer of 1997, they commented:
"There was a brief flurry of abortuary destruction in the early part of the
year (bringing joy to the hearts of those who pray for spiritual revival)...But it is
bothersome to be reminded of the call God has placed upon the lives of others. Paul Hill
has been sentenced to death. Apparently he was called [by God] to the sacrificial, public
witness he made...Paul Hill was called to abort the abortionist, and his wife and children
were called to suffer the loss of husband and father for righteousness sake...A righteous
man, our brother in the Faith, has been sentenced to die for doing justice and
showing mercy. He is to be executed for obedience to our Lord."
The site also has a letter from Paul Hill which describes his thought processes before,
during, and after the murder of an abortion provider and his bodyguard. When informed that
he would be charged with two counts of murder, he writes:
"I knew then I had accomplished my task. I continued to lift my heart to the
Lord, thankful for success. I had not failed in my errand and He had not failed me. The
Lord had done great things through me."
Later, he wrote:
"Much of the joy I felt after shooting the abortionist, and still feel today,
is the joy of having freely obeyed Christ after long being enslaved to fearful obedience
to men."

The Nuremberg Files at http://www.bestchoice.com/atrocity/ (now a travel website) had been called "the most controversial" website
on the Net. 5 Neal Horsley lead a
"...coalition of concerned citizens throughout the USA...[who are] cooperating in collecting dossiers on
abortionists in anticipation that one day we may be able to hold them on trial for crimes
against humanity."
They patterned their web site name after the Nuremberg trials
after World War II when Nazi war criminals were tried for crimes against humanity. They
attempted to prepare files on all individuals that they refer to as
"abortionists." The term is broadly defined to include people who conduct abortions, own clinics, or provide
protection to clinics. They also included judges who interpret laws "authorizing
child-killing or oppressing pro-life activists" and politicians who create such
laws. Their web site contained lists of abortion providers, judges, legislators, spouses
etc. Included with many are their home and office addresses. Physicians who have been
murdered have had their names crossed off; Dr. Barnett Slepian of Amherst NY,
who was assassinated in late 1998-OCT is one. When a physician is injured,
their name is grayed out.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution commented:
"Horsley's Web site, 'The Nuremberg Files: Visualize Abortionists
on Trial' features images of fetus body parts bordered by dripping blood and
includes a list of doctors who perform abortions. Some doctors' names are
accompanied by personal information, such as photos, home addresses, names
of children and wives."
The president of Planned Parenthood,
Gloria Feldt, accused the web site of inciting violence. A spokesperson for the National Abortion Federation, Sharon Lau, commented: "It may not come right out and say,
'Go out and kill these people,' but with the blood dripping around the list, I think it's
certainly implied."
The website was added to a list of threats against abortion providers
that formed part of a case against 12 anti-abortion activists and 2
anti-abortion organizations. On 1999-FEB-2, a federal jury found the
accused guilty and assessed damages of $108 million. The media
incorrectly linked the web site's owner, Neal Horsley of Carrollton,
GA, to the accused. In fact, there never was a judgment or injunction
against the website; there never was a connection between the
defendants and the website. The case had involved pictures of abortion
providers in the form of "wanted posters," that the
defendants allegedly distributed in 1995.

The Creator's Rights Party hosted The Christian Gallery where
the Nuremberg Files resided. Referring to the assassination of abortion clinic workers,
clinic bombing, etc, they state:
"That violence exists because the violence against the unborn creates a
vortex of violence that, unless it is arrested will threaten every person in the USA...the American Medical Association is leading this nation toward its own destruction. To ignore
the plight of the unborn child being slaughtered meets all the criteria of a condition
of mental illness called denial." 7
This group offered to hold public seminars which it calls "Post
Abortion Assassination Seminars" (PAAS). Their intent was to educate the public
with their beliefs.
