George Tiller is dead!

 

I came home from church to find the headline on the Internet that Dr. George Tiller (who came to national attention over a decade ago for being one of the few doctors who would perform late-term abortions.), has been shot and killed in his church in Witcheta, KA, this morning.

Dr. Tiller made the news when someone tried to kill him a decade ago.  That is when many of us in the pro-life movement found out that there really were doctors speciallizing in the late term abortion procedure.  He was one of them.  Someone succeeded today.  I also found out that "SwearNoAllegence" had already Bloged about it.

The verse that comes to my mind is the one about being once warned and hardening the heart, that person will die without any hope.  I regret that someone took it that far:  better to break his hands, or his leg, or something non-lethal that would get his attention, and maybe he would repent and change his ways.  But it is too late, and that person will have to pay the penalty for murder.  How sad.

The man was shot in his own church building, serving as an usher.  One of his fellow parishioners called him a "christian man."  A person should be safe in his church.

I think we should also point out, that the pro life movement, does not endorse the activity of gunning down abortion doctors.

@ProudToBeAChristianFruitcake - 

Exactly.

@pb49r - 

I would also like to point out, that it is entirely possible that he was a Christian man.

How confusing it must have been for mny young Christians in Tiller's church to see him working as an Usher! What hypocracy!

@RobertLeeRE - 

therein lies a real problem. "They will know us by our love." If that is true, then is doing abortions, love? Is doing an abortion of a viable baby love? Is it love to kill to save the life of many, many more? These are real questions we have to deal with. If Mr. Tiller was doing the loving thing, then it is very confusing to all young people: murder is love? I DON'T THINK SO! Therein lies Roeder's problem, too: murder.

I think an argument could be made that he was a martyr sacrificing his life by taking Tiller out of the picture ruining his career as a late term abortionist. An argument could be made that there does come a time when the State becomes so overbearing that someone must standfast and rise up. I am sure if you asked him he would say he was led by God. I do not see Roeder as a hypocrit. I see no difference in this in compsred to us going to war against Japan after they bombedv Pearl Harbor. I'll bet abortion doctors will have second thoughts after this, instead choosing a less lucrative career.

@RobertLeeRE - If it forces abortion doctors to choose to pursue a less dangerous practice, then it accomplishes good.  That is a good thing.  But, I doubt we can allow vigilante justice and truly claim to be righteous.  Only by organized rebellion against moral wrong (peaceful resistance, sit-ins, blocking entrances) will we be respected (but at what price to our witness for Jesus?).

@pb49r - Of course it will influence abortion doctors to pursue other careers and a less dangerous career choice. Why would it not? No one is scared of death and judgment more than the ungodly. Civil disobedience sometimes reqires peacefull means but also can require a complete abandonment of government all together. When the government is allowing 12 year old girls to get an abortion without the parents knowledge or permission or covering up some statutory rape that was done by the girl's gym teacher without notifying the parents they have lost all moral authority to govern, enact and enforce laws. For to do this breaks a much greater law coming from the bible.  If we Christians do not get stronger in our moral authority through enforcment here in America we will lose the upperhand making this country ripe to be taken over by Isam. Christians forcing absolute morals upon the ungody many times is the only way. The problem of mankind has never been from the vigilante, oh contraire the opposite is true. The probem has been from the so called pious handwringers that muddy the waters with an unwilingness to enact and pass legislation that enforces God's absolutes. We Christians have to stop listening to others that caim they are Christians but really do not love the Lord Almighty. We do this by reading our bibles a lot which gives us an intimate relationship with the Lord.
