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.

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.

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