The Murder Of Dr. Tiller Is An Outrage
Dr. George Tiller was certainly no saint. Even those who are pro-choice (myself included) thought Tiller was a barbarian.
He was one of only two doctors in the U.S. willing to perform late-term or partial birth abortions. If doing that was no big deal a lot more doctors would be willing to do it.
For $5,000, Dr. Tiller would terminate a pregnancy regardless of how far a long it was. I may be pro-choice, but killing a baby that’s already a fully formed human capable of living outside the womb is murder.
Having said that, what happened to Dr. Tiller was also murder. It’s an outrage that anyone would take that kind of vigilante action. Cutting a man down in church in front of his wife is despicable.
Murdering abortion doctors or firebombing clinics is domestic terrorism and should be treated as such.
Wacko “Christians” who murder abortion doctors are no different than wacko Muslims who murder in the name of their faith.
In a civilized society this kind of thing cannot and should not be tolerated under any circumstances.
Predictably, the left-wing kooks at the Kos, HuffPo, and elsewhere are doing their best to make political hay out of this terrorist act.

**UPDATE**
Gov. Sarah Palin issued a statement concerning the murder of George Tiller:
"I feel sorrow for the Tiller family. I respect the sanctity of life and the tragedy that took place today in Kansas clearly violates respect for life. This murder also damages the positive message of life, for the unborn, and for those living. Ask yourself, ‘What will those who have not yet decided personally where they stand on this issue take away from today’s event in Kansas?’
Regardless of my strong objection to Dr. Tiller’s abortion practices, violence is never an answer in advancing the pro-life message."
