WICHITA, Kan. -- Dr. George Tiller, a Kansas man who became one of the most famous figures in the national debate over abortion, was shot and killed at his church Sunday morning, KAKE-TV reported.
Tiller was walking into Reformation Lutheran Church at 10:03 a.m., when he was shot.
Tiller was pronounced dead when emergency crews arrived, the station reported.
Police were looking for a blue Ford Taurus with a K-State vanity plate, license number 225 BAB. Police described him as a white male in his 50's or 60's, 6'1," 220 lbs, wearing a white shirt and dark pants.
Not the way I remember that either.
Exactly, its a leftist dream. ABORTION doctor shot and killed by a GUN, as he walked into CHURCH.
They will make his death a rally against people who oppose Abortion.
They will use it to justify gun control.
And dont forget,, the guy will be a “domestic terrorist”.
This is the worst setback for our side since that murderous assassin Rudolph. Not to mention, its not a tactic Jesus our lord ever used.
No tears for baby killers.
“Pro-lifers should condemn this as antithetical to their philosophy and beliefs.”
They DO....
Maybe “a PO potential grandfather avenging the death of a grandchild.”
Doesn’t discredit anything. I don’t think it is the best way but in a just world such men would find themselves executed under the law.
Agreed. Finding the killer is the next thing. Hopefully, he’s not dead on the side of the road right about now.
It is simply wrong to ambush and kill another human being. You have a good point. It will be used by those invested in our national killing factories to marginalize pro-life. What this person did was very selfish—he/she may have enjoyed self-gratification for an instant but does not help the cause of life whatsoever.
You need to use the clinical term postpartum abortion.
Using the clinical term helps remove any moral component that exists.
Science Rules!
It was since (and one, therefore, could argue, in part, because of) Rudolph, America has swung to majority pro-life for the first time in 15 years.
“Murder is wrong, period, regardless of who commits it.”
True, however killing to prevent a serial killer from claiming his next victim probably doesn’t fit into the category of murder...
“I would not even put it past them to commit this murder themselves, as an excuse to sieze power. Reichstag Fire, and all that...”
I agree that he would do it, but i think he’s cunning enough to sit and wait for some nut to do something, then immediately capitalize on it. I think its more likely that they had already brainstormed how they respond to things like this.
Look for term “domestic or homegrown terror”, look for this theme right as he goes to the Middle east for his speech. He might even showcase it as an example terror is just as common in christianity.
BOO-cotton-pickin' -HOO.
And you are entitled to be a posturing idiot, since I doubt that you have ever taken any action along these lines your self.
Nothing to see here just his last abortion this one many trimesters Post Birth.
Sorry, I can't buy that.
True, however killing to prevent a serial killer from claiming his next victim probably doesn’t fit into the category of murder...Engaging in extra-judicial killing of people who are engaged in legally sanctioned killing(whether abortion or executing criminals) is a slippery slope you don't want to go down.
Imagine if liberals started killing prison guards/chaplains etc... that were involved in executions.
There's a reason we're a nation of laws and not men. Excusing the killer in this case is fundamentally anti-american. If you want to get rid of abortion, do it in the courts and in the realm of public opinion. Otherwise you just push America one step closer to totalitarianism. I'm sure the feds already monitor FR. How much do you want to bet that somebody in this thread gets a knock on the door?
You'll probably be more accurate than the initial description given on the DC sniper-- an angry white guy in white van.
Jesus had something to say about “casting the first stone”. And though he was without sin,,he didnt decide to throw one. And yes, a bullet counts as a stone.
Just saying.
I am talking about the thread that has over 300 replies on it already and is only 9 threads down from this one. Sheesh
