Dr. George Tiller, a man who was a spokesman for abortion and performed many late term abortions himself, was shot and killed while serving in his church building today.
It was all over CNN in the McDonald’s as we were driving back from Florida today. I sadly mentioned it to Becca, at which point she said, “Well, that’s the answer.” I can’t really type in her sarcastic tone, but it was there.
Hopefully they catch the guy who did this and put him away for a long time. What he did is as much murder, and sin, as the thousands of abortions Dr. Tiller performed. Like my mom used to say, “Two wrongs don’t make a right.”
I’m not gonna speculate on the perpetrator’s heart or motives, other than that they were seriously misguided, which is a mild statement compared to the truth.
Like I said last week, the true path to humility is realizing that Dr. Tiller, while a murderer himself, was capable of being redeemed by the same Jesus who gave us grace and saved us from certain spiritual and eternal death. It is unfortunate that Dr. Tiller was physically attacked by “pro-life” activists, and that is what will make the news, even more unfortunate that Dr. Tiller was not given more time, patience, and “long-suffering” to repent.
Many, probably thousands of true pro-life activists prayed for the man, of that I am sure. CNN just doesn’t happen to report on that.
Peace.
