I'm not excusing the killer. But Tiller had a whole lifetime to repent. And if he did not repent, that was his choice. The Bible is pretty clear on this. Nobody knows the day or the hour of our death, except God. Therefore, it is unwise to go walking around in a state of mortal sin.
And that's also why Catholics ask Mary to "pray for us now and at the hour of our death."
God is merciful. He extends His mercy to all. I am sure that Tiller has had many opportunities to repent. And perhaps he did repent at the last. But for everyone, the time runs out, sooner or later.
Good ole Karma! What goes around comes around.
