question about being pro-life and choices that go with that - anyone can answer.?

How is it that those who are pro-life and against abortion justify the killing of innocent people when they kill people outside abortion clinics or blow them up? Isn't killing people in that situation showing that you aren't pro-life cause you have taken away an individual/s life?

How is killing a living person different to a woman making an informed choice about having an abortion on an unborn fetus?

Update:

I'm not saying that all pro-lifers kill people outside clinics or blow them up. But there are people who do - I don't think anyone can deny that - and I'm just trying to understand the mindset of why someone who is pro-life would take another's life

    It's not any different, those people are wrong and just as guilty of murder. I do not think any rational person would disagree with you.

    A person who would do that is obviously insane and have put their whole life into this issue and feel they are a "soldier for God" doing what THEY think is the right thing to do.

    I don't understand it either. It just doesn't make sense. The pweople that do that must have got something messed up in their wiring. It's never right to take life. Those people get pro-lifers (who are often Christians) a bad name.

    Personally I'm pro-life but I wouldn't kill someone.

    I think these pro-lifers kill the abortionists because they see the unborn child as "innocent" and the abortionist who rips this innocent young life out of it's mothers uterus and pieces back the parts together as evil.

    But hey, that's just my take on it... you'd be better to ask on of these pro-lifers who have killed someone or whatever.

    you are right that pro life is pro life and that is what they sometimes get boiledinto. that is sad butyou know that sometimes people get riled up so bad they do bad things. its bad to murder someone that has not come into life as we know it and its bad to kill period. thou shall not kill its a law and some should pay attention but we all have emotions and sometimes they are over looked.

    who says that people out there killing others, are pro-life? i'm pro-life... and i would never kill anyone, bomb anyone, etc. being pro-life, i don't think they'd go deliberately kill someone else. even if they say they're pro-life. that's like a drug addicted alcoholic hooker saying she's a christian.

    It's different in that it's worse; much worse. It is the gross exaggeration of lack of common decency. It is a manifestation of Christianity.

    Some people will do whatever it takes to prove THEY are right.
