Do you honestly think picketing the guy's house is going to get him to stop doing abortions? More likely it'll get him to call the cops . . . .
Its things like this that make Christians look like crazy idiots.
Work within the system to talk to pregnant women in crisis and/or change the laws or not at all. Stuff like this isn't the Lord's work . . . it does the exact opposite of what you're trying to accomplish.

Do you think those that marched during the civil rights movement were accused of looking like idiots also? I mean come on! They were beaten, sprayed with hoses, isolated, ....

Really? Condemning and exposing evil and wickedness isn't "the Lord's work"? Could you help me out by explaining to me what exactly is "the Lord's work"?

Did the civil rights movement go to individual houses and tell them they were going to hell? The civil rights movement was characterized by public marches, huge numbers of people and was eventually codified into law. You want to change things, you should follow the same pattern.

Do you want to save babies, or just tell a guy how evil he is on the streetcorner of his house? Do you think the guy is unaware of he abortion debate and the position of the "other side"?

Why would "his heart be filled with uneasiness and guilt" if he doesn't agree with your stance on abortion? Annoyance, contempt, alienation, and resentment, I could understand. But guilt?
