Tiller the Killer

The news of the murder of Dr George Tiller on Sunday has shocked thousands of people across the world. George Tiller was an abortionist who specialised in late-term abortions, and owned one of 3 clinics in America which aborted babies after 21 weeks.

It seems ironic that the killer has been killed. The murderer has been murdered. The abortionist has been aborted. But George Tiller should not have been killed. 'Tiller the Killer' has killed 60,000 unborn children, and we can assume he was killed by somebody who is pro-life.

I speak for myself, and the majority of pro-lifers when I say that the taking of a human life stands against all we believe in. Pro-LIFE. The clue's in the title, people.
The murder of Tiller will not solve the problem of abortion. Somebody will take his place in the abortion clinic. By murdering Tiller, all that this gunman has achieved is to turn more people against the pro-life movement, and peg us all as 'anti-abortion extremis[ts]' and 'domestic terrorists' (according to some American nutjob called Bonnie Erbe on USNews.com).

Killing a killer does not make you pro-life. Murdering an abortionist does not make you pro-life. It's not like there's a 'one abortionist down, 14,999 to go' pledge. Getting rid of abortionists is not going to work. There are many more people who can fill an abortionist's bloody shoes, especially if Obama's plans for overturning the Right of Conscience act come to fruition. What is important is education, education, education. If you don't know the full story about abortion, why would you be pro-choice or pro-life? If you sit on the fence, hearing about pro-life 'terrorism' will probably send you screaming towards the pro-choice gang.

Regardless of your opinions on abortion, don't let the murder of George Tiller cloud your judgement or opinion of the pro-life movement. His murder goes against pro-lifer's views in the same way his 60,000 late-term abortions do.
