George Tiller, Notorious Abortionist, Murdered This Morning

As you probably have already heard, the notorious late-term abortionist Dr. George Tiller was murdered at his church this morning in Wichita, KS.

He was a member of Reformation Lutheran Church (ELCA). The church and his clinic had been the site of many protests by pro-life groups over the years. He was infamous as one of only a doctors who performed late term (post 21 week) abortions.

I don’t know how someone who is pro-life could ever justify another killing. Yes, I’m sure on one level Tiller’s murderer thought he was killing someone who killed so many innocents and preventing further death. But we who are pro-life draw a line: murder is always murder. The hinge of the Christian pro-life position is that it is never our decision to terminate life. Ever. The gift of life is in the Creator’s hands. No one has the right to take it away.

In this case the Catholic position which is so strongly pro-life and anti-death penalty has it the most consistent. Death should always be in God’s hands, never in ours. Death never makes something right.

Repentance makes things right.

It is my prayer that Dr. Tiller, in his final moments, repented of the slaughter he committed over so many years. Lord have mercy on him!
