Today a man was killed in his church. He was tried, condemned, and executed by another man. He was found guilty of murder because he performed abortions. I don't think I need to point out the irony of killing someone because you believe them to be a murderer. Nor do I need to mention that the man in custody at this time (Scott Roeder) will be given a fair hearing and should HE be charged with murder he could face the death penalty. Kansas is a DP state and as I've mentioned in a previous blog >click<, people who claim to be "pro-life" often find the death penalty to be an appropriate punishment for murderers.
Lifted from HuffPo:
Randall Terry, the founder of anti-abortion group Operation Rescue who led protests against George Tiller's clinic in Wichita, Kansas in 1991, issued a statement about today's killing of the abortion doctor:
"George Tiller was a mass-murderer. We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God. I am more concerned that the Obama Administration will use Tiller's killing to intimidate pro-lifers into surrendering our most effective rhetoric and actions. Abortion is still murder. And we still must call abortion by its proper name; murder.
Those men and women who slaughter the unborn are murderers according to the Law of God. We must continue to expose them in our communities and peacefully protest them at their offices and homes, and yes, even their churches."
Doctor Tiller is survived by his wife Jeanne, his four children and ten grandchildren. He was obviously pro-life, having chosen to father four children. He also supported a woman's right to choose. I have no doubt that Dr. Tiller has contributed to the life and wellness of many people. He will be remembered by many as the abortionist who was murdered for his beliefs. I, personally, do NOT support late term abortion. I can't judge others for choosing this path nor do I know why they choose it. It's not my place to be a moral judge. I also do not support violence in response to a difference in choices people make. I do know that this man was killed in an act of vigilante justice, in a house of God. He must have been on a spiritual path that was personal just as all of our paths to God are personal.
My condolences to the family and friends of Doctor Tiller. Also my prayers go out to all of the US Marshals being dispatched across our country to protect hospitals and clinics that perform abortions.
In my faith we are given rings at about the age of 5 or 6. They are a green shield with the letters CTR on them. Any LDS member can tell you what they stand for. Choose The Right. In America we have the Right To Choose, so we CAN Choose The Right.
**Careful what you wish for O'Reilly.. Blood on your hands is something that can be achieved with irresponsible words. Out of curiosity, do you chant "jump" when you see a man on a ledge? Or is that reserved for God's hopeless cases?
