问题                  The Abortion Clinic Shootings: Why?
A)As the nation heard with sorrow the news of the deplorable shooting spree at abortion facilities in Brookline, the question is asked: Why? Why this sudden rise of violence in this area?
B)I have been intricately involved in the anti-abortion movement for more than a decade. I have led thousands of people in peaceful anti-abortion activism via Operation Rescue. Hence, I enjoy a perspective few have. So I submit these answers to the question "Why?"
C)The anti-abortion movement will argue that the call to take nonviolent direct action to save preborn children inevitably leads to the use of lethal force. This argument is ludicrous—unless one is prepared to argue that Gandhi’s nonviolent civil disobedience in India during the 1930s led to the murder of British officials; or that Dr. Martin Luther King’s nonviolent civil disobedience led to the violent actions that accompanied the civil rights movement in the United States during the 1960s.
D)So why, then, this recent violent outburst? Law enforcement officials need look no further than Roe v. Wade and Congress and the President need look no further than the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act to understand the roots of the shootings.
E)The Supreme Court’s attempt to overthrow Law(capital "L")in order to legalize and legitimize abortion has led to the inevitable—a disregard of or contempt for law. The court’s Lawlessness is breeding Lawlessness. The court cannot betray the foundation of law and civilization—the Ten Commandments —and then expect a people to act "lawful" and "civilized."
F)Let us look at the abortion industry itself. Just as segregation and accompanying violence possess the seeds for further violence, likewise it appears that the Law of sowing and reaping is being visited upon the abortion industry.
G)Now to Congress and the judiciary. Similar to the civil rights activists, anti-abortion activists have often been brutalized at the hands of police and then subjected to vulgar injustices in sundry courts of law. Add to this the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act, which turns peaceful anti-abortion activists into federal felons and perhaps one can understand the frustration and anger that growing in Americans.
H)The abortion industry can partly blame itself for the recent shootings. It clamored for harsh treatment of peaceful anti-abortion activists, and it usually got it. Now it has to deal with an emerging violent fringe. John F. Kennedy stated, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." One would think the pro-choice crowd would belatedly heed the late president’ s warning, but they haven’t. They’re urging an all too political Justice Department to launch a witch hunt into the lives of peaceful anti-abortion activists and leaders. Make no mistake— what the pro-choice people want is to pressure law enforcement and the courts to intimidate anti-abortion activists.
I)To those who support the recent shootings or herald John Salvi as a hero, I ask you: Has God authorized one person to be policeman, judge, jury, and executioner? Is it logical to leap from nonviolent life-saving activities to lethal force? Read you history! Remember the principles of Calvin, Knox, and Cromwell concerning lower magistrates. Are you calling for revolution? Please consider these questions before calling someone who walks into a clinic and starts randomly shooting people a hero.
J)So what can be done to curtail this trend? First, the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act should be repealed immediately. This oppressive law is an outrage.
K)Second, the courts must stop abusing anti-abortion activists. We must be accorded the same tolerance and leniency that every politically correct protester receives nationwide, i.e., small fines, two days in jail, charges dismissed, etc.
L)Finally, and this is most urgent, abortion must be brought to an immediate end. Whether the Supreme Court declares the personhood and inalienable right to life of preborn children or the Constitution is amended or the President signs an "Emancipation Proclamation" for children or Congress outlaws abortion outright, we must bring a swift end to it.
The brutality against anti-abortion activists arouses growing anger and frustration in Americans.
选项
答案G
解析 题干：对反堕胎人士的残酷对待引起了美国民众心中见长的愤怒和沮丧。题干关键词是brutality和anger and frustration。文中G段第二、三句提到，反堕胎人士往往受到警察的残酷对待，法庭低俗的、不公正的裁判。此外，诊所出入自由法案将和平的反堕胎提倡者沦为联邦罪犯。这样，人们就不难理解美国民众心中滋生的沮丧和愤怒了。与题干意思吻合，故选G。
