Kansas Abortionist George Tiller was shot today as he was going to Church.

The difference between Hitler and the liberal abortionists: the happy face and good intentions.
“Murder is wrong, no matter who the victim might be.”
All killings are not murder.
“And if you’ll notice, many of those who are decrying this action are doing so from the standpoint of how the pro-life movement might be hurt by it”
I don’t agree with that viewpoint. I don’t think it will help or it will hurt. The pro-abortionists already think every pro-life person is a terrorist so how will this make any difference?
That took way too long, though. If someone is unquestionably guilty of many murders, that person should be put to death ASAP, IMHO. The idea that trials are necessary 100% of the time is a bit disturbing and defies common sense.
I think even the mod's are upset at how sympathetic some posters are, as they've added "Child Murderer" (in parentheses) to the headline. I don't remember seeing that before.
Chick tracts? I remember often finding them in public restrooms. I thought that they were to be used as a emergency toilet paper supply.
Do you think, seriously, that killing George Tiller is going to stop further abortions taking place? Because if you do, you are going to be sadly disappointed. He was an instrument of abortion, not its cause. The social and moral conditions that enable abortion existed while he was alive and they still exist now. All that will happen is that someone else will do the abortions at that clinic now, and you can transfer all your moral disgust to them if you like.
Abortion on-demand happens because the technology exists to do it, and the personal moral integrity that says “I didn’t plan this child, but now its happened I cannot selfishly destroy a Human life for my own convenience” hasn’t caught up with it. The way to close abortion clinics is to make them obsolete by presenting the pro-life argument so irrefutably that no one wants to use them.
Thanks
This one is hitting home with me.
I feel like a helpless observer, even though Tiller has played a huge role in my life.
What I understand, and say, is sometimes repulsive to those who have not walked in my shoes.
Even though I am NOT ready for violence, they are repulsed that I show sympathy for those who are not as patient as me.
I fully understand those who are not on the same page as me, and I am trying hard to help them “speed read”!
People need to catch up!
There is little time left to argue amongst ourselves!
“We pro-lifers know that, but just imagine what the average Joe or Jane American might conclude’
The same thing they would have said anyway, that pro-lifers are terrorists.
The average Joe or Jane has already heard this. No offense but I think you worry too much about what other people think.
The action was wrong but not worth all the hand wringing.
I’m not sympathetic to Tiller. I certainly can’t mourn his passing.
But pro-life has to include moral opposition to murder.
“How do you know he had been attending there?”
The news report I read stated “where he was serving as an usher and his wife was in the choir....” Obviously not a one time visit.
Your post seemed to be dismissing differing opinions as trolls/infiltrators. Whether that was you intention or not. That is a tactic that a lot of folks unfortunately reach for first on here these days.
‘The way to close abortion clinics is to make them obsolete by presenting the pro-life argument so irrefutably that no one wants to use them.”
Other peaceful tactics are to buy the abortionist building and evict them. Or expose their illegal methods to the light and get them closed down.
Those two tactics are much more efficient.
I freaked out when I was reading all the people expressing false sorrow at the sight of a dead Tiller the Killer.
They said we should all do it because the media will smear us if we don’t. No matter what we do the left’s media will smear us so we might as well be true and honest about the stiff. Bill O will smear us for to put himself in our attention in hopes of expanding his audience.
But this time Bill O got caught being honest! He permitted one of Tiller’s victims to go tell the public what Tiller actually does to children and mothers. In a lapse of truth, he is the one who accurately named it “tiller the killer”!
‘Your post seemed to be dismissing differing opinions as trolls/infiltrators. Whether that was you intention or not. That is a tactic that a lot of folks unfortunately reach for first on here these days.’
Not sure which post you are referring to. If its the one I think, I was responding to a posters comment about how FR has a different tone these days.
For example lately I’ve noticed a lot of very outrageous posts usually referencing some blog.
No, he could have repented at an unscheduled time on a Sunday. “Unscheduled” is the key word.
What the heck gave him that idea!?
“No, he could have repented at an unscheduled time on a Sunday. “Unscheduled” is the key word.”
Asking repentance for a sin that you have not forsaken is a waste of time. Not saying you could make the same mistake but if you are an abortionist it does no good to ask gods forgiveness until you have stopped being an abortionist.
And even with Gods forgiveness you will still be judged for your sins.
I do not consider the person who took Tiller's life (sorry, I can't use the word "murder" in this instance), to be "evil."
"Evil" is far too vicious a word to use to describe someone who we (as of right now) know nothing about.
On the other hand, we sure know a lot about Tiller's past.
his death will enhance his image to them, but will put an end to his specific brand of mass murder.
