They are entitled to have their opinions as anyone else is but to try to force them onto others the way they do is just not acceptable. It's not a particularly Christian way of behaving. Christ himself never forced anyone to believe or behave in any particular way. It should be each person's free choice. Yes I know there will be those who say that the unborn baby has no choice but that really isn't anyone else's business. I wouldn't have a termination myself but I wouldn't behave aggressivly towards someone else who did.

How intimidation can be thought of as Christian is beyond me. Like you said Pixie, it's people like this who give religion a bad name.

However, fighting back in like manner by throwing razor blades or anything else at them is wrong too.

If they are so convinced of the power of prayer then instead of holding their "vigils" outside the clinics and causing trouble why don't they just pray quietly at home or hold little prayer groups where they can get together in each others homes or something? It really doesn't sound so much like it has anything to do with prayer but more to do with sensationalism and grabbing a headline.
