Tiller's Killing: Necessary... But Unlawful

But to paint him as a martyr like they have makes me wonder if we’ve gotten past the *as it was in the days of Noah* stage.

This Scripture describes our present world perfectly, IMHO:

This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. – 2 Timothy 3:1-5

It's time.

Maranatha, Jesus!!!

"Tiller's worshipers are today praising the fact that heaven will be a better place because George Tiller is now there."
********

They have no say in the matter. God is sovereign, and we must let God be Sovereign.

"The silence of the Pro-life movement leaders (whoever they are) to that blasphemy is deafening."
*********

Pro-life leaders, and there are many, are not allowing Roeder nor the Tiller klan to define who they are and the principles they adhere to. Truth and God are on the side of the pro-life movement. For pro-life leaders to insert themselves into this enemedia circus would be counterproductive. The pro-aborts are all preaching to their own 'choir' - that choir of death that celebrates abortion as good and right and 'a right'. Pro-lifers should know and understand that we're winning this battle - more and more people are identifying themselves as pro-life and we need to translate this into pro-life support at the polls - not insert ouselves into some morass of a loner's making.

Roeder caused this media circus - you P-Marlowe have at least partially defended Roeder in this. Now you're calling on pro-life leaders to help unravel the mess. What Roeder did will not help reduce the great mass of abortions, nor ultimately forward the pro-life movement. While that murder of Tiller is important in and of itself, in the grand battle of Pro-Life vs. Pro-Death - it is but a blip, it is a non-sequitor. Roeder doesn't deserve anything more from us but our prayers. Do not expect pro-life leaders to lower themselves into this molasses keg to assist Roeder in this, nor to address the pro-aborts who are taking Roeder's act and making hay and sordid commentaries about heaven with it. Addressing them in this would only give more fuel to the fire.

Who do we have to thank for that?

Let the fire burn down and promote Life and Truth in a much more powerful manner than to jump in and, in any way, shape or form, attach our wagon's to Tiller or Roeder.

“If someone had been caught dismembering 60,000 two year olds for hire, I suspect that even many of the most hard core anti-death penalty crowd would have second thoughts.”

You know MetMom, this is an important analogy. If we really believe that abortion is murder, then our task is to convince society that the fetuses and growing babies in the womb are indeed human beings every bit as much as a two year old. We are succeeding in that for the first time since 1995 more people ID themselves as pro-life than pro-choice - 51% pro-life. This issue SHOULD cut across both parties and independents as well. Our work is laid out for us.

We must win the next generation of hearts and minds to the message of Life! Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness...but the first of these is Life...

betty boop has often written of a disease of the spirit - like mental illness only much worse. This is below even the natural state of a man.

Indeed, "below the natural state of a man." In a certain way, its sufferers refuse to be men, if by being a man we mean being in the image of God. That image is the only thing that separates us from the beasts of the field.

I suppose Tiller was a beast. There is no question in my mind (based on his public statements) that he suffered from this pneumopathological disease that Plato called nosos (I'd describe this as a collapse of the self for loss of the divine pull), and Cicero aspernatio rationalis ("contempt for reason.") It is especially clear that Tiller was a person who "call[s] evil good, and good evil; that put[s] darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put[s] bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!"

Indeed, he seemed to be on a one-man Crusade to invert the entire moral order of Western civilization. The devaluation of Life and Truth and Justice was this Crusader's main weapon. His victims were not restricted to just the babies he killed. He was attempting to victimize society itself by undermining its moral core.

Tiller knew EXACTLY what he was (from 2003):

Partial-Birth Abortionist Confesses He is "Going to Hell"

The opportunity did not go unseized. A sidewalk counselor repeatedly told abortionist Tiller that God was concerned about the babies he murders through abortion. She also expressed that God was concerned about Tiller's soul. Other counselors urged Tiller to repent for the "shedding of innocent blood," and to beg Jesus to forgive his murderous sins.

With Tiller arriving at the front gate to his property, a counselor finished her plea, "You can't go to heaven unrepentant, George; you are going to hell." The abortionist George Tiller instantly quipped, "Abortion is worth going to hell for."
