R.I.P. Dr. George Tiller

Dr. Tiller was an inspirational and courageous man, and his death is a great loss for the many lives he has touched. I admire what he has done and his fearlessness in the face of opposition for a cause he believed in. His life, legacy, and work lives on through the many that have been touched and inspired through him.

Dr. Tiller's murder is disgusting to me. I don't understand how a person can claim to be "pro-life" and then actually take the life of another, a 67 year old man who was only practicing what he believed in and ensuring safe abortions for women. How is this man's life not significant to you?

This isn't a sole event. Not only was Dr. Tiller attacked once before, but there have been a series of attacks on those who provide late term abortions for years now.

  1. Obama said, "However profound our differences as Americans over difficult issues such as abortion, they cannot be resolved by heinous acts of violence." --If Obama only cared that much about the countless babies who died at the hands of that abortionist

    A family member said, "Today we mourn the loss of our husband, father and grandfather. Today's event is an unspeakable tragedy for all of us and for George's friends and patients. This is particularly heart wrenching because George was shot down in his house of worship, a place of peace." Wow, how about the wombs that all of those babies were in? The womb is supposed to be a safe place of peace for a baby. But that monster would intrude and kill each one of them, with no remorse.

    And I do not feel sorry for a family who loved a murderer. And I sure do NOT feel sorry for a church that had no problem allowing a murderer to attend.
