^{Say We Slew Them Not}

	“Say we slew them not.”

Throughout the tribunal, the American prosecutor, Justice Robert Jackson (also a Supreme Court Justice), was careful to use frames of reference that were not simply American, but cross-cultural.  For example, he couldn’t appeal to the trappings and symbols of American jurisprudence, for such were not accepted, or even known, to most of the Court.  But he could and did appeal to the Ten Commandments, because it was the basis of all Western judicial systems, including the Germans, and they all knew it.  He made this a daily reminder by selecting as the venue for the trial a large courtroom (at the Palace of Justice) which featured the Ten Commandments on a plaque that was displayed prominently above the entrance.

The plaque bearing the Ten Commandments had been on display there, presumably, throughout the Nazi era.  Nuremberg was an important city in the birth and incubation of the Nazi nightmare.  The Nuremberg Laws that stripped legal rights of personhood from Jews were promulgated there, almost in the shadow of this very plaque.  Perhaps Germans could not be bound by American law, but they were certainly bound by a higher law, a higher law embodied within and symbolized by Ten Commandments (Romans 2:14-15).  This higher law would be the moral authority for the Tribunal.

On July 26, 1946, eight months into the trial, the Prosecution began the presentation of closing arguments.  On that morning, Justice Jackson delivered the Summation for the Prosecution.  At the conclusion of his Summation, Jackson drew upon the words of Shakespeare, knowing they would be familiar to all present.  After spending the entire morning itemizing the Nazi crimes and the evidence against the accused, Jackson concluded:

It occurs to me that this is exactly what the pro-aborts beg of us everywhere we go.  Against the background of undeniable photographic evidence that abortion kills real children, they scream at us, “It’s my right!” or “It’s not a baby!” or “Get off my campus!”  What they are really doing is begging us to “say we slew them not.”  We could reply, as the Queen did, “Then say they were not slain.  But dead they are ...”

CBR is growing!  In 2004, following the Key States Initiative (KSI), Orlando resident Mike Schrimsher committed himself to full-time pro-life work and launched CBR’s Florida operation.  CBR-FL has focused mainly on the Reproductive Choice Campaign (RCC) trucks and airplanes.  This was their first GAP, but they dove right in and made a big splash!  Please rejoice at how your support of CBR-SE is helping the GAP project to grow across the country.

Strange weather.  Just when we were getting a little weary of winter in Knoxville, we drove to Florida to assist Mike with his first GAP project.  The weather in Florida was sunny and mild.  Something about that kind of weather in early March just ain’t right.  But we endured the suffering for Jesus’ sake.  Someone has to do it.

Bad taste?  David Pritchard wrote to the Central Florida Future (the campus newspaper):

... after the conclusion of Project Darfur, in which hundreds of student activists dedicated themselves to ending true, modern-day genocide, to engage in such blatant "shock politics" in the wake of anti-genocide awareness efforts is the core of bad taste.

Ironic how Mr. Pritchard cares so much about the innocent people being killed on the other side of the globe — as well he should be — but cares nothing about the killing down the street.  Could it be that he is just as guilty as the Sudanese killers at dehumanizing the people he wants dead.  Perhaps Mr. Pritchard should remove the 2x4 from his own eye, so that he can see clearly to help his Darfur neighbors.

Different motivation, different means, same results.  The Central Florida Future opined:

The motivations and methods might be different, but are the results any different?  After all, dead is dead, right?  And do you think the victims of abortion would care very much about the motivation and means of their attackers?  Would they care that they were killed for different reasons than Nazis killed Jews?  Or would they simply care that they were dead, their lives stolen from them?

	Ground operations were coordinated with those of the CBR Air Force. This is one of two airplane banners that flew over GAP. This one is aimed at Hispanic Catholics, of which there are many in Florida. It says, “Pray before you vote.
