With the murder of Dr. Tiller there will now be a full scale assault on pro-life advocates. I urge you not to be taken in by the mainstream media on this.
Almost all of us who profess to be pro-life would never have advocated the murder of Dr. Tiller. Murder is murder and is wrong whether you are killing millions of unborn children of someone like Dr. Tiller.
Now there will be a full scale effort to blame this murder on the entire pro-life movement instead of on the one person responsible. That one person should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That one person; not the entire pro-life movement.
There has already been an announcement that President Obama, the most pro-abortion president in our history, has ordered more security to be provided for abortion clinics. This should not result in peaceful protests being dispersed but I am afraid that will be the result.
The political left will use this murder as an excuse to try to damage or eliminate the pro-life movement. At the very least they will use it to slow the momentum of the movement.
If I thought like a liberal, and thank God I don’t, I might think this was all the product of some pro-abortion conspiracy designed to counter the recent polling that showed 51% now claiming to be pro-life.
Before we name a holiday in honor of Dr. Tiller let’s get a few facts straight.
This was not your ordinary abortion provider. This was the worst that the industry had to offer. This was a man who performed late term abortions. He performed abortions on babies that were viable outside the womb.

Really? You got anything to back that up besides the internet posts that say that he supposedly posted on an O.R. message board?
When 3,000 were murdered on 9/11, the left blamed America - not the murderers.
I take it they’ve dropped that line of reasoning this week?
Stuff that was in the local news yesterday. As you can imagine this is the lead story on all the news. We'll see how accurate it turns out to be.
His “connection” was that he once posted something on a BBS on their website, and his arrests were for unrelated things (bomb making and tax resisting).
And that is the "stuff" that need to be exposed and de-constructed. Posting on a message board is a reed thin connection. It is exactly what lazy and agenda propagandists leap on like a junkyard dog on a bone.
I suppose Gov Sebelius will show up at the funeral. She lost one of her campaign donors.
It comforts me to think of the late doctor as just a large piece of tissue. Gee, that helps. My tears are all dried up.
Too late...
Not that they would mis-lead me, but the unwashed masses will be putty in their hands...
Deja vu all over again!
Notice the chaplaincy program, which .... "offers individual counseling, group counseling and the celebration of spiritual sacraments such as baptism of the still born fetus and blessings for the aborted fetus."
Go read the definition of the Pro-Life concept and WHY it started. Don’t try to apply it to something just because some words match.
