I am aure it will be difficult to find a jury, unbiased in Kansas regarding the prosecution of the accused.

It’s too bad he didn’t get to repent before being murdered.

He said it better than any so far. Tiller is going (has been) judged by our Father and pay the ultimate price.

My heart goes out to the family of George Tiller. No matter what I thought of him, it was not right that he should have been murdered. This was certainly not how I had prayed things would turn out. I was praying that God would open Tiller's eyes to what he was doing. His eyes have certainly been opened, but it is too late for him to do anything about it now.

I am sickened by how some in the media have tried to make Tiller look like some sort of hero. In his clinic, more than 400 late term abortions per year were performed. He gave that statistic himself during an interview with the KC Star. In that same interview, he talked about an abortion he performed on a 7 month gestation child because the mother was depressed. Sickening.

A “procedure” was performed on Dr. George Tiller using some sort of a gun.
Happens everyday ...

Wonder if those folks who love abortion but abhor the death penalty will suddenly be demanding the death penalty for this murderer.

Honestly. It's not like he didn't have plenty of opportunity. This man was a monster. I'm only sorry that the pro-life movement is going to be tarnished by his murder.

I will happily give up all support for the death penalty, in trade for eliminating abortion.

My thoughts about this:

Kill 3000 Americans in New York and libs will blame the President and cry for the ACLU to protect you.

Kill 1 abortion doctor, and libs will scream for the death penalty and FBI crack-down on all religious conservatives.

Kill 5000 babies as they are being born, and libs will call you a “hero” and “courageous champion of human and woman’s rights”

due process

It is established morality that: When the law is demonstrably impotent, risking loss of innocent life before due process can prevent the atrocity, proportional measures may be taken to protect said innocent life - hence valid war and armed self-defense. Such morality stands, even if ignorant or self-serving law subsequently does not agree.

In this case, that the law was aware of the loss of some 60,000 innocents - before, during, and after their demise - under a publicly known for-hire service, methinks the law was, as indicated above, demonstrably impotent. That other measures were subsequently taken to uphold morality in the practical absence of due process is understandable. The law will, of course, respond according to itself - but if the law were moral, the act which this response applies to would not have occurred.

He did get the chance to repent. He chose not to.

I’m certain this was not the only opportunity.

Probably, because it all depends on whether the pro-lifers will allow their opposition to define them by one man's act, which they probably will.

I hate aboprtion and abortionists.

There is something I hate even more.

Murder.

Murder whether it is the taking of innocent unborn life or the murder of a human being (except in cases of legal murder aka the death penalty).

It is one thing to protest this man and boycott his clinic and protest outside of his workplace. It is quite another to gun this man down in cold blood.

Both sides in the abortion debate should heed God’s word: “Thou shalt not kill.”

I think the number of pro-murder folks in Kansas is relatively small.

The left has been defining the ‘anti-choice’ movement since day one with the gleeful assistance of the mainstream propaganda machine..errr press.
