FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE May 31, 2009 NARAL Pro-Choice America’s Statement on the Murder of Dr. George Tiller

Washington, D.C. – Nancy Keenan, president of NARAL Pro-Choice America, today issued the following statement on the murder of Dr. George Tiller in Wichita, Kan.

“On behalf of NARAL Pro-Choice America, our prayers and thoughts are with Dr. Tiller’s family and friends at this moment, a moment that fills us with immeasurable shock and deep sadness.

“For almost two decades, Dr. Tiller and those individuals who helped provide care to his patients have lived under intense harassment tinged with persistent threats of violence. Even under these adverse circumstances, Dr. Tiller never wavered in his commitment to providing abortion services and other reproductive health care to women and their families, often in the most difficult and heart-breaking circumstances.

“Dr. Tiller’s murder will send a chill down the spines of the brave and courageous providers and other professionals who are part of reproductive-health centers that serve women across this country. We want them to know that they have our support as they move forward in providing these essential services in the aftermath of the shocking news from Wichita.

“We understand that the investigation is ongoing and that law-enforcement officials are pursuing a suspect. If it proves to be an act of anti-abortion violence, as we suspect it is, then the full weight of the law must be used to send a clear message that these types of attacks will be prosecuted fully and swiftly.

“We also call on opponents of a woman’s right to choose to condemn this action completely and absolutely. What happened today in Wichita cannot become the beginning of a more aggressive wave of violence targeting abortion providers and the women for whom they provide care. Women accessing their legal right to abortion—and the providers who make this possible—should never be targets of violence.”

Reichstag fire Perhaps? Obama seems to seize on this immediately and assign guilt to the Pro-life side of the issue when the Sheriff himself said motive not determined.

I guess the President can proclaim you are guilty of anything anytime he wants. Whats next Pro-life demonstraters hauled off to secret prisons? Gun bans? Martial law?

Maybe it wouldn’t get their panties in such a bunch if they tried to think of it as a 275th trimester abortion.

I read this in the Yahoo News account:

“Tiller began providing abortion services in 1973. He acknowledged abortion was as socially divisive as slavery or prohibition but said the issue was about giving women a choice when dealing with technology that can diagnose severe fetal abnormalities before a baby is born.”

Now the question has been asked, to whom do they (NARAL) pray, when praying for the slain physician's family.

Tiller's position on aborting late tern pregnancies had to do with playing God. It goes like this, obviously: It is discovered that the baby may have an “abnormality” and so they just do away with it.

It is declared to be a woman's choice, but it never stops there in society. When people play God in the way Tiller did, the mind set, when unchallenged in a real and principled way, becomes the mind set of more and more people, especially the ungodly in government, who want to control individual lives. Tiller's mind set seems to create precedent for action on the part of people who seek power to control society.

When, therefore, this idea of playing God and choosing to end life for reason of “abnormalities” gets into the health care debate, it will have a big part in how decisions are made when rationing health care for everyone.

Eventually (and probably sooner than later) health care bureaucrats will employ the same thinking as Tiller did, but it will not longer be “choice.” When discovered that an unborn baby has “abnormalities” bureaucrats will decide that an “abnormal” child born into this world is an unacceptable burden to the system, and they will rule that the cost is too great. Conclusion: don't provide the services to deliver this baby, or . . . don't provide the services to care for it's “abnormality” after birth.

Result: abortion (not by choice) or infanticide, which is murder, but it will come to be accepted as normal. It will save money, you know, and reduce the stress on the funding for the medical care of “normal” people.

Eugenics, pure and simple. That is where we are headed.

Forgive the double post; not intentional. First one looked as though it had failed.

They have a major martyr now, and will play it for everything they can.

I'm not so sure about that. Everytime they bring up his name, it will provide the opportunity to talk about the hideous reality of what he did. He will forever be Dr. Death. No one cares about the family of an abortionist or the people he worked with, any more than people care about the families of the death camp guards. The truth is that he's an embarassment to the very people who are forced to praise him.

some phony Baptist group ... or maybe they just hate the military and disrespect them?

I thought most of their hate was directed towards queers.

I think I expressed those same reservations in my post. It is paradoxical to say the least, for a man to murder another in the name of protecting life.

No, they weren't in favor of the war so they would protest soldier funeral and call them murderers. Truly they are a sick, heartless group.

I can’t even begin to imagine the mindset and personality that is capable of doing such things, esp. on a routine basis day in/day out.

I hold life (including animal)in much higher regard than these indiscriminate butcher types and I am thought of by some as soft and too kindhearted for it. One of my numerous flaws and shortcomings.


I hear ya!

No, you’re the way people SHOULD be. If there were more people like you, the world would be a better place.

I don’t want to relate to butchers. I don’t need to “walk a mile in their shoes” to know these kinds of people are monsters. I find these people utterly offensive. These kinds of people have crossed a line that I’m not sure is a way back.

I have to help you out with this group:

Anti-Gay Kansas Church Cancels Protests at Funerals for Slain Amish Girls
Wednesday, October 04, 2006

By Sara Bonisteel

The controversial anti-homosexual Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., has canceled its plans to stage a protest at the funerals of the five Amish girls executed in their Pennsylvania school, a church official said Wednesday.

Shirley Phelps-Roper, the daughter of church’s pastor, told FOXNews.com the group canceled the protests in exchange for an hour of radio time Thursday on syndicated talk-show host Mike Gallagher’s radio program.

“We’re not going to any of the Amish funerals — that’s the agreement we’re making — that we won’t go to any of them,” Phelps-Roper told FOXNews.com.

...

Before it garnered national attention, the church made its name around Kansas, where 16 years ago, it started protested the funerals of AIDS victims. And while their demonstrations of late have focused on the funerals of U.S. soldiers, Westboro church members have taken their picket signs to the memorials for the 12 Sago miners who perished in January in West Virginia.

Earlier this year, prompted by the church protests, Congress passed a law that banned protesters from military funerals at federal cemeteries. More than a dozen states have passed similar legislation creating protest-free buffer zones around cemeteries during funerals.

Phelps-Roper told FOXNews.com in February that the church has a right to protest.

“We are delivering a message,” Phelps-Roper said. “God is punishing this nation and he is using the IED [improvised explosive device] as his weapon of choice.”

...

Yes, they even wanted to protest at the funeral of the Almish girls.

Take a look at the poster at the link -
it’s one against the military.

I caught that, too. Guess they don’t care about swift justice if the killer wasn’t pro-life.
