George Tiller

Late-term abortion doctor George Tiller, often called "Tiller the baby killer", was shot while attending a church service this morning. While his actions were within our nation's laws, the man was certainly despicable. While there are a lot of opinions on abortion out there, with some pro-abortion arguments being somewhat reasonable, the only plausible excuse for partial birth thrown out is, "it's necessary to save the life of the mother". I don't have children, but if I had carried a baby almost to term and complications developed to the point that it was my baby's life or my life, take my life and let my baby live! That's what love is all about, isn't it?

Killing this man was wrong and as of this writing, we don't know anything about the murderer. But it will be interesting to see how this plays out in the media. If the murder turns out to be an evagelical or a on the "far right", all conservatives will surely be demonized. If, for some reaon, the murderer turns out to be a liberal, nothing will be said. One thing for sure, this man will be made into an angel by the drive-by media. Of course, one has to wonder how an anti-abortion activitist would be portrayed under like circumstances.
