Defensive Action Declaration
We, the undersigned, declare the justice of taking all godly action
necessary to defend innocent human life including the use of force. We
proclaim that whatever force is legitimate to defend the life of a
born child is legitimate to defend the life of an unborn child. We
assert that if Michael Griffin did in fact kill David Gunn, his use of
lethal force was justifiable provided it was carried out for the
purpose of defending the lives of unborn children. Therefore, he ought
to be acquitted of the charges against him.
