Partial-Birth Abortionist Confesses He is "Going to Hell"
Wichita, KS - According to a recent Gallup poll, the majority of Americans believe they are going to heaven and very few believe in a literal hell as a place of eternal suffering for sin. But late-term abortionist George Tiller says hell is a very real place -- a location in which he plans on spending all of eternity.
During a recent demonstration outside the walls of the nation's largest abortion facility, Mr. Tiller was approached by three unassuming women, each an independent sidewalk counselor. Although Tiller regularly parks his armor-laden vehicle in a secure parking garage on his clinic property, on the morning of January 22, 2003, he declared he was "celebrating freedom" by parking his truck on the public street and walking half a block to work.
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."
This statement may not stun people who believe abortion is a merciful act of justice administered to needy women in crisis. But even those would surely admit that to go to hell is not much of a reward for killing children. Clearly Tiller's declaration stands as a proclamation to all in the abortion industry, that: "God hates... the hands that shed innocent blood," (Proverbs 6:17) and that "The wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). Hell awaits all people who refuse to repent of their sins.
Yet Tiller can find forgiveness for the bloodguilt he bears, but only in Jesus Christ, God's only son. As the abortionist entered his building, the last words he heard were, "Mr. Tiller, Jesus Christ shed His own blood on the cross to pay for your sins. We are praying for your salvation."
May our hearts echo this prayer, because "Repentance for forgiveness of sins should be proclaimed in His (Jesus') name..." (Luke 24:4). Who knows what could happen? Even Tiller himself had stated before, "Never underestimate the power of prayer."
Editor's note: Mr. Tiller claims to have more late-term abortion experience than anyone else in the world. He travels world-wide and speaks extensively on late-term abortions. Please join Operation Rescue West in praying for Tiller's soul to be spared from hell.
No Tiller did not "confess" he is going to Hell. His statement clearly indicates that he does not believe in Hell. He was attempting to shock those who do beleive in Hell.
From his own point of view Tiller was merely being flippant.
Yup, I agree.
Paul was forgiven, even after he had taken part in the stoning death of Stephen and the persecution of the church. The grace of God will cover any sin where the sinner comes to the Father though the Son.
| 2271 Since the first century the Church has affirmed the moral evil of every procured abortion. This teaching has not changed and remains unchangeable. Direct abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the moral law:
|
| 2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," "by the very commission of the offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society. |
| 2322 From its conception, the child has the right to life. Direct abortion, that is, abortion willed as an end or as a means, is a "criminal" practice (GS 27 § 3), gravely contrary to the moral law. The Church imposes the canonical penalty of excommunication for this crime against human life. |
| 2274 Since it must be treated from conception as a person, the embryo must be defended in its integrity, cared for, and healed, as far as possible, like any other human being.
Prenatal diagnosis is morally licit, "if it respects the life and integrity of the embryo and the human fetus and is directed toward its safe guarding or healing as an individual. . . . It is gravely opposed to the moral law when this is done with the thought of possibly inducing an abortion, depending upon the results: a diagnosis must not be the equivalent of a death sentence." |
I won't be praying for his soul. I'll be praying for the babies.
"A dangerous phrase is floating about pro-life circles these days. Following the murder of Dr. David Gunn and the shooting of Dr. George Tiller, extremists have rationalized those violent acts by calling them justifiable homicide. Fortunately, most people in the pro-life movement intuitively reject attempts to justify the murder of abortionists. But instinct may not serve us well in emotionally compelling situations. We must also think through the reasons for rejecting deadly violence in the abortion struggle. (excerpted, Christianity Today, Mar 19, 2003)

It's difficult to believe that someone who believed in God could really mean that.
I sure hope he feels that way now cause he got what he wanted.
Someone told me this guy had done over 60,000 late term abortions over the years. Does anyone know if this is true?
