Anti-Abortion Activists: Tiller’s Church ‘Brought Damnation On Themselves’
They encouraged and applauded his murder, but anti-choice fanatics aren’t finished with Dr. George Tiller yet.
Now the leader of the domestic terrorist group calling itself the “Army of God” has sent a letter to the church Tiller attended, telling pastors that they “brought damnation on themselves.”
A Virginia anti-abortion activist has sent a scathing letter to the church of slain Wichita abortion provider George Tiller, telling pastors they “brought damnation” onto themselves for failing to rebuke the “babykilling.”
The Rev. Donald Spitz, a longtime advocate of the belief that killing abortion doctors is an act of justifiable homicide, said he also mailed a letter to College Hill United Methodist Church, which offered its larger sanctuary to Tiller’s family for his funeral.
Tiller was shot to death in his church on May 31 while serving as an usher. Scott Roeder of Kansas City awaits a Jan. 11 trial on a charge of first-degree murder.
Spitz, who is the head of Pro-Life Virginia, runs a Web site called the Army of God. He has praised Roeder’s actions and calls him a “true American hero.”
“If Reformation Lutheran Church had done its job and brought George Tiller to repentance, he would be alive and the babies he killed would be alive,” Spitz said in a phone interview. “But George Tiller received his just reward, and Reformation Lutheran Church is to blame for his blood, and the blood of the children he murdered is on their hands.”
The word for this kind of tactic is “terrorism” — they’re letting the pastors of Tiller’s church know that if they don’t toe the line, they might be next.
