Leading pro-life activists are denouncing the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller, but I'm not sure I understand why.
"It is immoral and it is unchristian," says the Rev. Rob Schenck of the National Clergy Council. Calling the killing "a cowardly act," Operation Rescue President Troy Newman says his group "has worked tirelessly on peaceful, nonviolent measures to bring [Tiller] to justice through the legal system, the legislative system....We are pro-life, and this act was antithetical to what we believe."
Yet if you honestly believe abortion is the murder of helpless children, it's hard to see why using deadly force against those who carry it out is immoral, especially since the government refuses to act.
Nor is it sufficient to note that killing Tiller was against the law. When the law blesses the murder of babies, it is hardly worthy of respect, any more than laws blessing the enslavement of Africans or the gassing of Jews were, and violent resistance against such enactments surely is justified in principle.
Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry implicitly condemns Tiller's murder, saying, "We grieve for him that he did not have time to properly prepare his soul to face God." Yet Terry continues to call Tiller a "mass murderer" and insists "the pro-life movement must not be browbeaten by Obama or the child-killers into surrendering our best rhetoric, actions and images," adding, "We hold absolutely no responsibility for [Tiller's] death."
How is it possible to believe that fetuses are people with a right to life yet also believe that using deadly force to defend that right is wrong?

Sure. Let’s all just kill anyone we think deserves it. Good idea. This guy is an idiot.
The article makes excellent points.
In the absence of justice we will driven to this point. The reason the left attacked our justice system is to pit us at each others throats. Absent correction they will be successful. At the present I see no correction.

The reason is in the first sentence of the article.
So if the government where to legalize the killing of Christians then Christians should just render unto Caesar and willingly be murdered.

The NARAL'ers, NOW Nags, and pro-abortion advocates might simply consider Doctor (and I use that term loosely) Tiller's murder a very late term abortion..something on the order of the 204th trimester.
Vigilantism will prevail.
I'm only surprised abortionists aren't murdered every day,
Well said.Thank you.
“”Yes, if we are going to kill abortion doctors, the next logical step would be kill doctors who prescribe birth control pills and pharmacists that sell Plan B. “”
That’s like ending a war by killing police officers....
Well, so far he has. Right?
As martyred Lutheran theologian Dietrich Bonhoeffer might have said as he joined a conspiracy to assassinate Hitler,"Sometimes you have to rise above principle and do the right thing."
But the problem is is that the vessel of life freely walks in and submits that precious child to murder.
It’s probably all in the timing.
Take it from an old trigger puller. Right, Dad?
One can endorse the act or condemn it, it really doesn't matter-- but it was in no way cowardly, given that the man was certain to be known and recognized and apprehended. He may well have anticipated the death penalty and yet submitted quietly. That is not the action of a coward.
"Give me liberty or give me death."
"I regret that I have but one life to give for my country."
Cowards?
because nobody but drooling baby killers and gibbering idiots fall for that straw man argument.
Because vigilantism is against US Law and Biblical law as well.
