"Whoever murdere...Robert George said it very well:<br /><br />"Whoever murdered George Tiller has done a gravely wicked thing. The evil of this action is in no way diminished by the blood George Tiller had on his own hands. No private individual had the right to execute judgment against him. We are a nation of laws. Lawless violence breeds only more lawless violence. Rightly or wrongly, George Tiller was acquitted by a jury of his peers. “Vengeance is mine, says the Lord.” For the sake of justice and right, the perpetrator of this evil deed must be prosecuted, convicted, and punished. By word and deed, let us teach that violence against abortionists is not the answer to the violence of abortion. Every human life is precious. George Tiller’s life was precious. We do not teach the wrongness of taking human life by wrongfully taking a human life. Let our “weapons” in the fight to defend the lives of abortion’s tiny victims, be chaste weapons of the spirit."Ryan H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12772868175172789393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1268539650499556740.post-67802553074389960702009-05-31T19:42:04.985-05:002009-05-31T19:42:04.985-05:00Matt,

This ...Acts like this only hurt the pro-life cause. <A HREF="http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2009/5/31/737255/-Doctor-George-Tiller-loses-life-for-doing-his-job" REL="nofollow">This story</A> quotes one person saying the following,<br /><br />"The murder of Dr. Tiller may have been committed by one person, but it was organizations like Operation Rescue and others in the ironically named "pro-life" movement that loaded the gun. It's disingenuous for Operation Rescue to denounce vigilantism on one hand, but enable it on the other through its constant refrain of abortion and abortion providers being evil."<br /><br />Obviously, the logic behind such a statement is... well non-existent. Unfortunately, logic is irrelevant, and many people are going to take this point of view whether it's logical or not. This should truly be considered a sad day for pro-lifers.melledgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13257841307356951018noreply@blogger.com
