re: #77 slotgun

Jeebus. Somebody on this board called George Tiller “a brave and good man”? I find that remarkable. I lived in Wichita for 14 years, and I can tell you that way too much of what was taking place on Kellogg Avenue was the same thing Tiller got in the end: Execution. He was on record talking about huge numbers of late-term, viable-baby abortions he performed, when there wasn’t a damn thing wrong with the baby involved. He openly defied the law, the letter of the law, and the spirit of Roe v. Wade. Roeder is a wombat and a jackhole, a lunatic who took things into his own hands against everything that most rational people believe. But let’s not pretend for a second that just because he was robbed of his own life, George Tiller was some sort of civic saint. He shouldn’t have been gunned down. (Sad that I have to say that to counter in advance the mouth-foamers who classify all of us pro-lifers as loons just because we saw Tiller for what he was.) But the fact is that some kids, somewhere, are alive today because Tiller ain’t. I won’t cry about that. And I certainly won’t deify the man because he met the fate he did. Shame on those who would use his death by tring to score rhetorical points in the abortion argument—just as those who try to justify his death by posting a “scorecard” of Tiller vs. Feti should be shamed.

There might well also be women who are dead or permanently impaired because Dr. Tiller is dead. And if the other two doctors who perform late-term abortions in America are likewise murdered, that number will skyrocket.
