Abortion doctor likens Tiller's killing to MLK's
Washington Times ^ | 9 June 2009 | Julia Duin

Dr. LeRoy Carhart, one of the nation's few providers of late-term abortions, called on the federal government to treat as hate crimes all activities by "anti-choice domestic terrorists," compared the slain Dr. George Tiller to Martin Luther King and said planting crosses was equivalent to actions by the Ku Klux Klan.

"This is the equivalent of Martin Luther King being assassinated," Dr. Carhart said of the May 31 slaying of one of America's best-known late-term abortion providers. "This is the equivalent of Pearl Harbor, the sinking of the Lusitania and any other major historic event where we've tolerated the intolerable for too long."

Scott P. Roeder, 51, has been charged with first-degree murder and two counts of armed criminal action in the fatal shooting of Dr. Tiller.

"I think there is absolutely no difference in putting a cross in front of a person's home because of what race they belong to than there is putting a cross in front of our homes because we do abortions," said Dr. Carhart, who assisted Dr. Tiller in providing late-term abortions at his Wichita, Kan., practice every three weeks.

The Left’s martyr... This is why you don't take matters into your own hands. When you give the left a martyr, they howl so, that they won't even entertain listening. Yes the man himself (Tiller) is now facing his eternal judgment, but that is God's arena, ours is to simply stand boldly and proclaim God's position, and be willing to be martyred for truth's sake.

Actually, I agree with him, at least on this part.
Late term abortion is "the intolerable" that we've tolerated for too long. Well, someone got tired of tolerating it and having gov't officials thwart the laws intended to stop it.

Except he didn't mean it that way.
Comparing him to MLK and then Tiller's *loss* to Pearl Harbor and the Lusitania is ... beyond words.

Except maybe to say that Dr. LeRoy Carhart is certifiably insane.

Modified slightly, it makes a thoughtful tagline.

In John 11:50, the High Priest Caiaphas makes a declaration, not knowing the bigger truth that he was proclaiming:

“50You do not realize that it is better for you that one man die for the people than that the whole nation perish”

Tiller is more of a melanoma: if you stop it in time, you have a chance, otherwise, it will do alot of damage.

Carhart? That quack? Isn't he the dude that “pioneered” the partial-birth abortion technique?

Apparently Tiller was guite the guy in the baby-slaughter industry. In my book, he’s no better than Josef Mengele. Yes, too bad he had to be murdered, but he’s done with the killing.

Wouldn’t upset me at all if Carhart were the next to be capped. Wouldn’t miss him a bit.
