I don’t believe that people are wrong in condemning the violence against this man, but those same people ought to be just as outspoken the same way every time an unborn child is murdered.
==============
From the left I see these quotes:
“It is abhorrent that, once again, individuals who oppose the right to choose have used violence to try to advance their extreme anti-choice agenda,” Saporta said. – Is she not talking out of both sides of her face here? She in one statement both says it is wrong to choose to end another’s life and at the same time is in support of choosing to end another’s life.
and again:
“I am shocked and outraged by the murder of Dr. George Tiller as he attended church services this morning,” Obama said. “However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence.” – but isn’t it heinous acts of violence that Dr. Tiller committed every time he went to work?

Why are some pro life leader so worried about what the left or the media think of them. They’ve always been slandered by the left and nothing will stop that. It’s a conflict of worldviews with no common ground. One view must win. It must be life.
What’s wrong with us when the death of a murderer like Tiller garners more attention than the 60,000 babies he’s killed. Or the approximate death of 3562 babies killed everyday. Numbers that 1.3 million children are killed in a year are verified here- http://content.nejm.org/cgi/content/full/355/1/1#R1
And I couldn’t find readily available a more current article to show that.
One of the ironies about Tiller’s life and death is, it is no different than those lives he took. It was somebody else’s choice to remove him from this world. This is a topic I care deeply about. I’m not even really sure if what I say makes a lot of sense or not mixed in with all these links. But here it is, as best as I can present it.
A blog that says it way better than I ever could can be found here: http://www.gingiedmonds.com/June12009.html
One more thing, It is a downright dirty thing an outrage that we no longer show outrage at abortions occurring on a daily basis. Lives are being lost. It is downright wrong the news media doesn’t cover this until this atrocity is addressed with the laws we have and we stop practicing as though abortion were law.
Since when did the law say it was ok to murder people? In order to do so the Legislative branch which is the only Constitutional body for making law would’ve had to make a law to say it was ok, but they didn’t.
People most often practice abortion while citing Roe v. Wade, but Roe v Wade isn’t law. It’s an opinion of a court that failed to uphold the laws in place. Roe v. Wade doesn’t need overturned in court. We just need our President or Legislative branch to remind the court that the court doesn’t make law and put the courts back in their place. The Court’s duty is to uphold the law and when they do they protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Unfortunately in this case when the court doesn’t uphold the law they literally kill life, thus destroying liberty, and ruining any chance to pursue happiness.
Roe v Wade is not the law. It is a court decision in violation of the law, which has not yet been remedied by our President or our Legislature.
I started this line of thinking reading this article http://www.greggjackson.com/articles_44.html
