Are these supporters, going so far as a vigil in support of Tiller, fair game as accomplices?

They are as morally culpable as Tiller in his serial murders in the same way that all of us who called him a cold-blooded murderer before he was killed are morally culpable in his death.

We were all willing to call him a murderer until he was murdered. Now we are all condemning the guy who took us all seriously.

There is a lot of hypocrisy here. If abortion is murder, then we ought to be glad that no more murders will be committed by this guy. While we can ask for God's mercy on his wretched soul (something I don't think is going to happen) we ought to be glad that come Monday, he will not be killing any more unborn babies.

But then that would not be politically correct.

Poor Mr. Tiller.

If only he had been given the opportunity to live to be 90 or 100, he might have come to his senses and repented of his sin on his deathbed.

I am glad that come Monday morning Tiller will be murdering no more babies. You correctly insist that we view him as a murderer. He is.

And, yes, those of us who call him a murder bear some responsibility for anyone who would take us seriously and attempt to stop the doctor’s murdering.

At the same time, how would I justify myself being the executioner assigned to Tiller’s case?

I would have to hear personally from God. Otherwise, I would be taking God’s role as avenger without due authorization.

You are a very confused person. They are celebrating the life of a serial murderer on the basis of the murders he committed. Those of us (myself included) who have called Tiller a murderer are stating an objective truth regarding his actions. Calling the man a murderer is not a defacto call for his murder.

Equating support of murder to the calling out of a murderer is the most far-fetched moral relativism I think I have ever heard.

I am glad about all that even though I wish Tiller's demise had come another way.
