“The question is not that difficult.”
It is for those raised in an ambiguous world. as are most educated in today’s public school without receiving strong family articulation of life’s value at home.
Why is it that only a week ago we were celebrating poll shifts in favor of the pro-life position? If everything were black and white, polls wouldn’t shift.
I would remind those who to any extent condone the murder of Dr. Tiller that the biggest public relations coup in the history of the pro-life movement came through a minister who pursuaded Norma McCarvey to a pro-life position. He didn’t shoot her. Conversely, the murders of abortionists set the movement back each and every time.
If a person killed 60,000, babies, children or adults, successfully avoiding law enforcement, and was then killed by another citizen, that citizen would be hailed a hero by a majority and almost no one would call him/her violent. If he had to stand trial he would likely be found not guilty or if found guilty would receive a slap on the wrist.
Morally there is no difference between the above situation and a person who kills 60,000 people in the womb. The difference is legal. Tiller's killer will likely get the death sentence, and be excoriated by most in the country.
The ONLY reason I oppose what Tiller the Killer's killer did (it is an act defending the lives of others), and the reason I become so angry with people like him, is because the liberal media and pro-abortionists, will successfully taint and demonize the entire pro-life movement with it, severely limiting our ability to end legalized abortion in this country and elsewhere.
In today's political climate, our best and most effective tactics are loving and positive tactics. If more abortionists are killed in this manner, it will mean death to the pro-life movement for the forseeable future.
