Sadly, this is not suprising, considering this is a repeat of history when in the years leading up to the Civil War, there was also the violence that was associated with the efforts to end slavery.
re: the run up to the civil war.
Yes, shame there weren’t men like Obama around then that could have helped us find the “middle ground” on slavery. Maybe tax breaks to let the slaves get educated. Limits on the number of new slaves that can be brought to America.
Tax credits for actually freeing a slave. Maybe a slave lottery where once a month a slave drawn at random gets freed. Obama would have sought this middle ground........

Exactly what I thought. This smacks of a modern “John Brown.” Someone doing wrong in the of God.
The person that murdered Tiller was wrong, and will be brought to justice for violating the rule of law; he is no hero although his motive may have been to end abortion murder. However, the people of Kansas through their elected officials are equally guilty of the murder of the unborn (late term abortion). The killer of Tiller was wrong, but the State of Kansas that allowed Tiller to be a killer of babies is equally wrong. A responsible state would have used the rule of law to stop Tiller. Now someone has wrongly murdered Tiller to stop what the state wouldn’t. I hold both the murderer and the state (people) responsible for this tradigy.
This is a sad day on many levels. Abortion (especially late term) should be ended. However, anarchy and murder is not the way to do it. However, a state foolish enough not to end it properly bears co-responsibility.
