Slain abortion doctor remembered at Plaza vigil (But not for his victims)
The Kansas City Red Star ^ | June 1, 2009 | MEREDITH RODRIGUEZ

Posted on 06/02/2009 7:20:55 AM PDT by MissouriConservative

A crowd gathered at JC Nichols Fountain at the Plaza this evening to grieve together over the murder of Dr. George Tiller.

Community members along with Planned Parenthood organizers, the ACLU and a few political and religious leaders remembered Tiller, whom they called a courageous man and a compassionate doctor.

Speakers focused not only on Tiller’s work but also who he was as a person.

Peter Brownlie, president of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, remembered him as kind, respectful, thoughtful, funny, warm and committed to his wife and children — a religious man who put the health of women and families first.

“George Tiller saw his practice as reproductive health ministry,” Brownlie told the audience.

Hold a vigil for his victims and the slain member of the military outside a recruiting office.

I guess devil worship could be defined as “religion”.

Reading this, I think I threw up a little. Sickens me that they are weeping over the death of Tiller and not his victims.

I am very pro-life. I see the murder of the doctor as just as bad as the murders he was committing. But to weep openly about him and not his victims shows me a lot about this community. Especially my state senator, who thankfully, is only one of six pro-aborts in the Missouri Senate. Hopefully we can make it five when she is voted out in the next election (I can dream can’t I?)

Hold a candle for the man who killed viable fetuses for a living. That’s sick.

The only important point is this: How did God remember Tiller when he abruptly appeared before the Judgement Seat of God on Pentecost morning?

“George Tiller saw his practice as reproductive health ministry.”

#####

Straight out of Orwell’s 1984.

The irony literally pours from that blatant statement of pure propaganda.

It amazes me how interesting religion is to the left. They abhor it unless it gives in to their beliefs. Instead of adopting the beliefs and tenants of God, they demand that God adopt their beliefs and tenants before they will acknowledge Him.

The more I hear of the late George Tiller being "religious" the more I am reminded of the short story called "The Devil and Tom Walker" by Washington Irving.

Tiller sounds like he was quite "the violent churchgoer."

These apostate “Christian” churches are outright doing Satan’s worldly work.

Everything they believe just happens to coincide with the worldly viewpoint, which is Satan’s viewpoint.

God’s way and the world’s way are opposite and inimical.

I guess that pretty much proves the whole "abortion as sacrament" meme.

I find it interesting that the saying “what goes around comes around” applies to this situation. It saddens me so very much that there had to be so many victims of Tillers brand of murder before it was stopped.

“a religious man who put the health of women and families first.”

Any half-assed line of questioning by a reporter would show the fatuous nature of that statement. Health? I thought it was about “choice”, not health. I guess the left doesn’t have to be consistent when they have the entire media on their side.

Because Christianity is one of the last pillars of this nation that they haven’t yet infiltrated and corrupted to their purposes. They’ve already started working on “fixing” that, with last year’s big media focus on the “rise of the “Christian left”. There is no such thing, they are trying to dilute the Gospel of Jesus Christ with their humanistic “social gospel”. What they’ve already done with academia and media, they’re attempting now with Christianity, to co-opt and subvert it. Real believers are going to have to pray for discernment like never before.

I am very pro-life. I see the murder of the doctor as just as bad as the murders he was committing.

Unless it can be shown that the man who shot the doctor was paid for doing so it is not a equilivent action. Tiller was killing babies for pay. There is a big difference. One was driven by passion and zeal, misdirected I agree, but not the same as the cold blooded murder for pay carried out by the doctor.

I also think he saw his practice has his own personal healthy wallet practice. I heard that he charged $5,000 per abortion.

Undoubtedly.

There is a website that goes into extensive detail about his Murder Factory.

He actually had a mini hospital ward with a 10 bed capacity, the patients being separated only by curtains between the beds.

Not to mention a personal in-clinic crematorium. Black smoke could be seen routinely rising from the smokestack.

Sorry, but I thought others should share the nightmares, a visit to that website, caused me last night.

Won’t they be in for a surprise when God separates the sheep from the goats-or maybe they will be surprised to actually be standing before Him for judgement. I don’t think most of them actually believe in Heaven, Hell, or judgement, they are just using the label of Christianity for their own purposes.

I wonder, did they bring their children to help “commemorate” the work of this baby killer? Did they explain to any children they may have, how this “doctor” dismembered, or stuck scissors into the tiny heads of babies, or scalded their tiny precious bodies in fluids? Did they tell any children they may happen to know, that they hope another will take up his “great work” and do as much for them one day?

Kill 1 abortionist, and the libs call you a “terrorist” and call for FBI crack-down on Christians

Kill 3000 in New York, and libs blame the President and call for ACLU to protect your rights

Kill 60,000 humans as they are about to be born, and libs call you a “hero” and “protector of human rights.”

“The Pennsylvania Pro Life Federation issued the following regarding the horrible shooting of pro abortionist Dr. George Tiller:

“Through our local chapters throughout the Commonwealth, we will continue to safeguard the sanctity of life, particularly of the most vulnerable members of our society, including children in the womb, older Pennsylvanians, and people with disabilities,” said Maria Vitale, Education Director said.  “We will continue to work toward peaceful, life-affirming solutions for women facing the challenges of unexpected pregnancy, and we look forward to the day when all human life is protected.”
www.paprolife.org.

We stand by their statement and our only effort is in prayerful pursuit of abolishing abortion, baby stem cell research and euthanasia. We are committed against any act of violence and to murder someone is intrinsically evil and human life is holy. Human life belongs to God; it is His Creation and his prerogative to dispose of it as He Wills. Every human person has an intrinsic value and goodness, for each is a being made by God in the image of God.

Murder is an usurpation of God’s ownership of life, for human life belongs to God, is God’s property.

Life is not for human beings to do with as we wish. If we take a human life for any reason we must “act as an agent of God” such as “just war” or capital punishment...and I am sure these murderers are not “agents of God””

Unfortunately, as long as Roe v. Wade is on the books, there will ALWAYS be someone who will fill the niche Tiller’s death will leave!

Only now, it will be a ‘blessed cause’ because ‘this wonderful doctor was ASSASSINATED’ by a ‘religious extreme right wing (re:Christian) terrorist’...and Jesus and all the angels cry over the murdered babies to be who haven’t even been conceived yet. :*(

Hey!! Abortions are rare, and only occur in instances of ‘protecting a woman’s health’, or in the small amount of rape or incest cases that might result in pregnancy. No one LIKES the fact that they choose to have an abortion, the woman experiences great angst and drama in making this crucial decision in her life!!!

/liberal excuses for murdering babies

Noting that Tiller's friends and supporters have no fear of appearing in public it's pretty clear even they know it's just one mentally ill guy and not the RTL movement.

Takes a lot of courage and compassion to butcher a baby.

when I see his picture, and hear about him being an usher in his church..the thought comes to my mind... what about the baby jumping for joy.

King James Bible
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

American King James Version
And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost:

King James Bible
For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy salutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped in my womb for joy.
