No. It didn't. 

I cited half of the disagreement; the other half doesn't, unfortunately for my argument, belong to Gary North. I had thought that the point of Doug's pro-life article had been in response to North's defense of Paul Hill. I then realized that no such defense had taken place, and that, in fact, North believes that the only murder of abortionists should be judicial.

In other words, I take full responsibility for being wrong.

Now. On to the rest of my email, which you, for the second consecutive response, have deleted:

Do you, Dale, disagree that this is the purpose of Christian education? If so, stop evading. If not, this is simply another of your mindless, space-wasting trolls and not worth the time that I took answering it.

I'm not accusing you of believing that the purpose of private education is the creation of a Christian state, I'm asking you if you disagree with Christian Reconstructionist dogma and, if so, why?
