http://www.patheos.com/blogs/friendlyatheist/2016/03/07/ohio-planned-parenthood-vandalized-with-red-paint-and-threatening-bible-verse/A Planned Parenthood in Columbus, Ohio was vandalized overnight Sunday with splashes of red paint and a Bible verse suggesting the clinic workers should be cast into the sea with stones tied around their necks. (Can you feel the Christian love?)
The passage in question reads:
And whosoever shall offend one of these little ones that believe in me, it is better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea.
The term little ones appears several times in the New Testament and is understood to refer to Gods people, not literal children. Its not even defensible that fetuses have a concept of God, so whom are they suggesting should be drowned?
Heres an obvious danger with novice Christians these people clearly dont study the Bible but are acting out in this way using the Bible as defense, as if God is on their side. Anyone can Google Bible quotes to vaguely back up their point, no matter what it is.

Plus they were working on the Lord's day (painting the side of the building).
