That's a very interesting piece of information that adds a whole lot.

“Also, the pro-life people who are quoted in the story are of the Randall Terry variety. “

You mean the ones who do more than put a bumper sticker on their car?

This article has a very, very interesting update.

Thanks for the ping!

Over here!

Thought an ELCA apostate would appreciate this!

This “missing” information was pointed out quite frequently here at FR on that Sunday.

I guess Mollie Ziegler doesn’t Freep?

I must have missed that thread myself.

It was our utmost desire that Dr. Tiller come to repentance, and perhaps in time he may have. We do not know. Only God sees all ends. Sadly, because of this heinous act of violence, Dr. Tiller no longer has that opportunity.

Pity poor Dr. Tiller's fate here — so cruelly cheated out of an opportunity to repent by Mr. Roeder.

Sigh....

Thanks ever so much, markomalley, for the ping to this very interesting back story! I expect we won't be hearing much more about it, thanks to media censorship.

Seems to me that it's the continuing "M.O." of the left - control the information, control the people. Tiller's rejection by the traditional Lutheran church does not service their purpose, so they don't mention it.

You said it all.

I agree. The left media always excludes info that does not support their agenda.

He was not cheated out of an opportunity to repent. That opportunity had been available to him his entire life. Mussolini, Ceausescu, and Saddam Hussein were also "cheated" out of further opportunities to repent. It appears to be an occupational hazard for murderers.

Thank you for your encouragement, dear ResponseAbility!

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

No, she doesn’t but that still doesn’t deny the fact that she is...

Not Guilty!

Her husband writes for a weekly in DC. Nation? World? Something like that.

God teaches us in Romans 13 and other places, that the government is in place to enforce justice.

Which did not happen, as George Tiller had the best government money could buy.

So (karmic) judgment was exercised in the House of the Lord.

[lightman]

Lutheran Ping!

Glory to the Holy Trinity!

Indeed it does, and may I say justly so? While Christian society is waiting for such monsters to repent, people are dying in droves.

I do so much wish that certain "Christian moral thinkers" would take this fact of reality into consideration when they explain to us what the Bible "requires."

Thanks for administering this "dose of reality," SampleMan!

Dr. Tiller, a former member of a Missouri Synod congregation, was excommunicated by that congregation for his abortion practice.

"The kingdom of heaven was nigh unto you."

Tiller certainly was denied the opportunity to come to repentance but he was also denied the opportunity to take the lives of more babies.
