Someone told me today that granting clemency to Mr. Williams would be the "Christian Thing To Do."

Wrong.

The Christian Thing to do would be to forgive him of his sins, and to execute him under the law. The precedent for this is the story of Calvary, in which one of the two thieves was forgiven, yet he was still sufferred death by crucifixion. No one can cite 'Christian Ideals' in this case, and then reject those same ideals when it comes to abortion. You can't have it both ways.
