Abortion Doctor Killed

Last weekend Dr. George Tiller was shot and killed in his church while serving as an usher.

To begin with no one should be shot and killed while serving as an usher in church. Regardless of how heinous the target, respect ought to be shown to the house of God. Not even Dr. Joseph Mengele (the Auschwitz in-house doctor that performed experiments on Jewish prisoners) should be cut down in the aisles of a church.

And let's be honest, this guy was heinous. He was one of the few in the United States performing late term abortions, killing the baby after the 21st week of pregnancy. Left wingers will make political hay out of this to try and head off gun rights and anti abortion activists. However the vast majority of anti abortionists decry any violent act against abortion doctors because it only harms the pro life cause.

Pro abortion activists and Tiller's family claimed that a good man was taken down, one that "dedicated his life to providing women with high quality health care." Abortionists prey on unsure and insecure young women, offering them what seems like an easy way out of a tough situation but neglecting to tell them about the years of emotional scarring and suffering.

A child is a gift from God and a test of the body, mind, and spirit. Be a good parent and you cannot fail to emerge a better person in the process. However few would be parents know whether or not they are up to the task until it is sitting in their arms. Then something biological kicks in and you just know you were born to do this most sacred of jobs, regardless of your personal, financial, or any other situation. A human being has the natural right to live. If you don't believe me, check out the Bible and the Declaration of Independence. None of the authors associated with these works would think highly of "Doctor" Tiller and his work.

Count me as one who is shocked and appalled at a shooting inside the bounds of a church, but I have little sympathy for the target. As far as I am concerned he was little better than the aforementioned Dr. Mengele. Both took an oath to "do no harm" and both performed shocking and very painful procedures on human beings that they knew would result in torturous death.
