George Tiller murdered
posted at 8:59 pm on May 31, 2009 by Allahpundit
My two thoughts on this: (1) Murder is bad and wrong; (2) blogs will be even more insufferable than usual this week. The cops haven’t confirmed yet that the shooting was political but given Tiller’s infamy for performing late-term abortions plus the fact that he was shot once before, there’s little doubt what the motive was. I wish I could say there are no Bill Ayers types on our side, but I can’t; I wish I could say there are no right-wing nutroots degenerates online cheering them on, but I can’t say that either. As for those who condemn the murder while merrily hoping that he’s burning in hell, let a poor confused atheist ask you this: Isn’t the proper Christian response to any death to pray that God will have mercy on a flawed, fallible sinner, who’s now at last seen the error of his ways? Tiller might have changed his mind about abortion and repented in years to come but his killer’s deprived him of the chance. No prayers that God will take that into consideration?
I’m going to give you guys the benefit of the doubt and leave comments open, but if I see anything in the vein of what LGF has noted, the thread will be shut and offenders summarily banned. If you can’t resist pissing on a man’s grave, doubtless there are other blogs that will accommodate you. Don’t let me down.
Update (Ed): The murder of George Tiller at his church is a heinous crime, without any sense or justice. Regardless of how one feels about George Tiller’s profession, his murderer is nothing more than a domestic terrorist — someone attempting to impose by force a policy that one cannot get in place through democratic means. Tiller’s killer is no better than William Ayers, Kathleen Soliah, and Eric Rudolph, people who attempted to use violence for their extremist ends. Those who value life know that murder is the antithesis of the pro-life movement.
Update: The suspect’s name is Scott Roeder. Circumstantial evidence suggests that the motive was indeed political.

Yeah, after murdering God knows how many more children beforehand. Why not apply that to criminals who get the capital punishment? People’s eternal judgment is not my business. The consequences of their actions in this world are. I don’t think he should’ve been assassinated. He should’ve been tried for crimes against humanity and then executed by a sane (IE: not what we have) government.
Darth Executor on May 31, 2009 at 9:41 PM
I think he did a pretty good job of that, all by himself.
NoDonkey on May 31, 2009 at 9:42 PM
IMHO.
Tiller’s actions while alive were disgusting. He murderer is no better. May God have mercy on both of their souls.
Branch Rickey on May 31, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Thanks AP, can you erase his more vile comments?
conservnut on May 31, 2009 at 9:42 PM
It’s amazing the left would lionize this guy. Look, I’m against murder, whether the victim is born or unborn. But this guy was a creep of the first order, and they’re making him out to be some martyr. I condemn the murder, but he should be forgotten. His life was inconsequential.
TimTebowSavesAmerica on May 31, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Did you also admire his inability to make a coherent and substantive point?
Because you’re emulating it. :)
HondaV65 on May 31, 2009 at 9:42 PM
Watch out what you say in this thread, folks, or the DHS pre-crime division will throw you in the gulag.

JKotthoff on May 31, 2009 at 9:43 PM
Under what circumstances could abortion ever be made mandatory by the government? Are you talking about Chinese style population control?
toliver on May 31, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Thank you Allah. Hmm…never thought I’d hear myself say that.
therightscoop on May 31, 2009 at 9:44 PM
I’m a subscriber to the Rush podcast… I listen almost every day… I didn’t even know who Tiller was until I read about him today. How about you take a day or so to get your facts together. I get the picture you and your ilk peed a little with excitement when you heard this story. It so sad that your automatic response to this murder was to think how it could help YOU…
Ampersand on May 31, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Well, I don’t agree. Unless you accept that America is beyond hope at this point and is a true police state, with no recourse to the law on any level…then I respectfully have to say that you are wrong (hopefully).
But this much is true…it is still morally wrong to kill anybody in the US who is doing something legal…now matter how much you disagree with the legal thing they are doing…because someone could just as easily kill you and your family for the same reason.
And now, to go a step further…it is wrong, period, to kill another person who is not directly threatening your life or the life of your family members…
I am pro-life…but the method employed here cannot be used or Pandora’s box is opened.
AUINSC on May 31, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Tiller only doing his job as an abortionist = Bin Laden only doing his job as the head of AQ.
lavell12 on May 31, 2009 at 9:44 PM
Notice how the libturds always bring up how we need to understand the motives and desperation that drives Islamofascists to cut off people’s heads and blow themselves up in public places?
How come they never apply that “compassion” in this case?
atheling on May 31, 2009 at 9:44 PM
This murder illustrates the fundamental problem with the pro-life movement. If abortion truly is tantamount murder, than acts like these are justifiable. Indeed the slogan of Operation Rescue is “If you believe abortion is murder, act like it’s murder”. There is no moderation, no middle ground with this position.
Obama’s call for dialogue and understanding (made during his Notre Dame speech) is more relevant than ever. My prayers are with Tiller, his family and the church-goers that had to witness his murder while in a place of worship.
crr6 on May 31, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Thanks, AP. May he be the last of either the Left or Right to be banned on this thread.
Weight of Glory on May 31, 2009 at 9:45 PM
It was murder. It was not assasination or terrorism. Words mean things so use them correctly.
Pray for his family and those that knew hiim.
daesleeper on May 31, 2009 at 9:45 PM
Yeah. The SS had the balls to go after people who could fight back too.
Maybe Ed should add Jewish resistance to NAZI brutality next to Bill Ayers.
Darth Executor on May 31, 2009 at 9:45 PM
I do not condone or advocate violence against abortion clinics or doctors, but can someone tell me how my perspective (below) is incorrect?
I regard an abortion clinic bomber as I would regard someone in 1860 who tries to shoot someone guarding a group of newly captured slaves who are being herded to a slave ship for transport to a slave market. Or, as another example, someone who tries to free prisoners at Treblinka or Auschwitz by shooting a guard. If I believe that abortion is murder, then how is violence against an abortion clinic materially different than violence against the slave trade or violence against a death camp? The slave trade and the death camp were both totally legal in that time and place, yet today we laud those who took action against them. Was John Brown a hero, or a villain? Even Obama spoke proudly of his Uncle’s role in stopping the carnage at Auschwitz.
Can you tell me where my two analogies are materially wrong?
Don’t get me wrong. I do not condone violence against abortion clinics. Amongst other things, such actions are counter-productive. They have created an emotional backlash that has caused the pro-life movement more harm than good. But, given the unrebutted analogies above, my objections are primarily on strategic rather than moral grounds. Are these people heroes for trying to save lives (like Bonheoffer in Germany), or villains for, well, putting their beliefs into action? Or are they something else – someone who believed the right things, but chose a foolish, unwise and ultimately counter-productive course of action to reach their goals?
Can you tell me where I am wrong in my appraisal?
I wish that more people who claim to be pro-life would think through their positions a bit more. Many people believe that abortion is murder, but don’t follow that belief to its logical conclusion as it interacts with the rest of their belief structure. Perhaps because the conclusions may be uncomfortably radical.
Once again, I do not support or encourage what happenned, but these are honest questions.
ksm on May 31, 2009 at 9:46 PM
I was speaking in terms of legality, partical birth abortions are illegal in most states.

How about the gun used to kill Tiller…is it the gun shop’s fault for this murder? Or is it the guy who decided to pull the trigger’s?
The women who get abortions are pulling the trigger, so to speak. Guys like tiller sell the gun.
JetBoy on May 31, 2009 at 9:46 PM
daily basis? hardly. i watch o’reilly daily (although i am as annoyed as everyone else here with his smear of hot air recently), and i have only heard him mention tiller once or twice. and never, EVER have i heard him call for violence against him, or anyone else, for that matter.
you must be one of those people who know everything about everyone on fox news even though you’ve never watched. arianna huffington told you what they say, so it must be true, right?
idiot.
homesickamerican on May 31, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Bad logic. You forget you’re talking about people (99.9% of them) who believe in upholding the law, and the law forbids murder even of a murderer.
splink on May 31, 2009 at 9:46 PM
Also, the left had no problem cheering for the assassination of W, and went so far as to make a movie about it. Who cares what the left thinks. Tiller will be forgotten by tomorrow when GM finally dies.
TimTebowSavesAmerica on May 31, 2009 at 9:46 PM
They would like another Kristallnacht.
“The rising tide of persecution of and violence against Jews in 1938 culminated in the infamous “Krystal Nacht’ (Night of Broken Glass) 8-9 November. The Nazis had clearly been waiting for some excuse to unleash even more violence against Jews. The assassination of an official in the German embassy in Paris by a young mentally unstable Jew provided that excuse.”
semloh on May 31, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Thanks for posting about this and leaving comments open, Allah. I abhor what that doctor was doing, but no way does that mean he should be gunned down. because of it. Murdering him doesn’t change anything and makes it that much harder for our “side” to win more hearts and minds.
I do believe abortion is murder, but engaging in murder as a reaction to it just makes no sense.
changer1701 on May 31, 2009 at 9:47 PM
That is so out-of-context you gave me a spleen hemorrhage.
“for it is better doing good, if the will of God will it, to suffer, than doing evil.” That passage said that Jesus once preached to the now-imprisoned spirits (Luke 16:19–31) during the days of Noah, but only eight were saved, because only eight obeyed… for it is better doing the will of God and suffer, than to do evil.

Late term beautiful,innocent,wide eyed little babies.
WHERE IS THE OUTRAGE?!

Is President Obama in record saying he wants Bin Ladin killed. What’s the difference between OBL and Tiller?
(Other then Tiller is the more prolific murderer).
JeffreyLloyd on May 31, 2009 at 9:47 PM
Yet, they routinely do surgery on new born without any anesthesia. The rationale being that their cns is too underdeveloped to feel pain. I’m not crazy about it but then again I’m not a surgeon.
Blake on May 31, 2009 at 9:47 PM
What if it was legal to kill black people? Would it be OK to kill their murderers then?

therightscoop on May 31, 2009 at 9:49 PM
1 This murder is bad, period.
2 The victim apparently practised late-term abortions. He was, however, just one doctor.
3 The US President condones late-term abortions – and in a minority of one he approves denying medical aid to infants who somehow survive late-term abortions.
I find point 3 more significant than points 1 and 2.
JohninLondon on May 31, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I agree with you – he’s no terrorist. A terrorist more often goes after victims who are merely tangential to those he has a grievance against. For instance – if the guy had bombed the grocery where this abortionist shopped, or the guy’s barber shop, or his clinic in the middle of the day with the goal of taking more lives than just the doctor’s.
This guy is an assassin – he had an object of grievance and he went squarely after it. No indication he was trying to instill any “terror” into others.
And if he was – he was simply trying to put the fear into those who might be considering following in this abortionist’s footsteps.
That to me is not terrorism.
HondaV65 on May 31, 2009 at 9:49 PM
This is my problem with religion in general. This man could’ve murdered thousands of more babies, yet on his death bed he could’ve just said, “Ooops! Sorry, god! I repent!” and that’s it?
SouthernGent on May 31, 2009 at 9:49 PM
I’m not condoning the murder (Mr. O’Reilly), but I say America needs to see a late-term abortion.
mankai on May 31, 2009 at 9:50 PM
It also sounds like he was not a member of Operation Rescue, but perhaps some kind of hanger-on; taking things into his own hands rather than working within the policies of OP.
Yes, notice how these acts of violence are automatically presumed to be the work of an anti-abortion activist. The fact is that Mr. Roeder could have been someone attacking a random church member like the New Life Church killer. He could have been an angry family member of an abortion victim. He could have been set up by a competitor in the abortion business. The violence in Dr. Tiller’s life as an abortionist dramatically increased his chances of being a victim of violence.
Anyway, I run in pro-life circles, and none of my friends or even distant acquaintances are the type to commit violence and lawlessness. It is slander to paint pro-lifers as prone to violence.
That said, I join other commenters here in absolutely denouncing violence such as was perpetrated against Dr. Tiller. Everyone involved will be in my prayers.
AP, God extends His mercy to all of us. Unfortunately, it seems as if Dr. Tiller had spent his years on this earth rejecting God’s mercy, and may have been too hardened against it by the time of his death to accept God’s mercy. But you are correct; Christians should share the heart of God, Who
SheofTwoMinds on May 31, 2009 at 9:50 PM
He didn’t single out the babies – their mothers – their caretakers – their coccoon did.
So the outrage is not only inappropiate – it’s misguided at best.
AprilOrit on May 31, 2009 at 9:50 PM
This is about as much as I can say about it as well.
XWing5 on May 31, 2009 at 9:50 PM
The outrage is there, but please, you have to step away from your emotion.
Face it — the game of prolife Vs. prochoice is like chess.
You make the right moves when you can, because in the end you want to win, and winning means more babies saved.
Shooting an abortionist just gives the prochoicers a chance to check, and checkmate us.
blatantblue on May 31, 2009 at 9:50 PM
A closer analogy would be a woman hiring a hit man (the doctor) to kill someone.

ladyingray on May 31, 2009 at 9:51 PM
Nelson Mandela assassinated Apartheid officials, representatives of the current law – and that got him to be a head of state and receive a Nobel Peace prize.
Menachem Begin assassinated British officers, representatives of the current law – and yet got to be a head of state and receive a Nobel Peace prize.
Just some food for thought.
Aristotle on May 31, 2009 at 9:51 PM
This analogy is just a colossal fiasco of stupidity. I am sure that you would like to take it back.
NoDonkey on May 31, 2009 at 9:51 PM
I agree. But Tiller is gone now, and has no chance or making amends for his rejection of Jesus.

Indeed. Socialized medicine is the first step toward population control, a long-advocated plank of the Marxist platform.
TMK on May 31, 2009 at 9:51 PM
It’s not though, is it? Again..reverse the question and ask yourself what happens if killing pro-lifers or people who wear ugly ties is OK…I understand the dilemma…but killing another over this issue assumes that laws can be corrected with violence…it won’t work in a civil society.
AUINSC on May 31, 2009 at 9:52 PM
I regret that a man was murdered. I regret that an individual handed liberals, “See, all those anti-abortion loonies have got to be put under 24 hour surveillance because they’re all homicidal killers” headlines.
I’ve been opposed to abortion for lots of years and I’ve owned firearms for lots more, but it never ever crossed my mind to kill someone who performs abortions. Also sad that the media will continue to lie and refer to the procedure as “late term” abortion. Sucking the brain out of a child half way through the birth process is NOT a late term abortion, it’s the murder of a child; one of the worst forms of child abuse, and rightly called “partial-birth abortion”.
oldleprechaun on May 31, 2009 at 9:52 PM
If the left thinks BOR is responsible for Tiller’s death, then if Bush or Cheney had been harmed in any way, they are responsible. In fact, all the leftards should be arrested for inciting that shoe throwing incident.
Blake on May 31, 2009 at 9:52 PM
This murder illustrates the fundamental problem with the pro-life movement. If abortion truly is tantamount murder, than acts like these are justifiable.
Your post illustrates the fundamental problem of pro-aborters; that a legalized murder option can only be answered by killing the “killers.” Concentrate on the word “legal”.
Bishop on May 31, 2009 at 9:52 PM
That is what was understood unitl recently. Read this.
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/02/10/magazine/10Fetal-t.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all
IF THE NOTION that newborns are incapable of feeling pain was once widespread among doctors, a comparable assumption about fetuses was even more entrenched. Nicholas Fisk is a fetal-medicine specialist and director of the University of Queensland Center for Clinical Research in Australia. For years, he says, “I would be doing a procedure to a fetus, and the mother would ask me, ‘Does my baby feel pain?’ The traditional, knee-jerk reaction was, ‘No, of course not.’ ” But research in Fisk’s laboratory (then at Imperial College in London) was making him uneasy about that answer. It showed that fetuses as young as 18 weeks react to an invasive procedure with a spike in stress hormones and a shunting of blood flow toward the brain — a strategy, also seen in infants and adults, to protect a vital organ from threat. Then Fisk carried out a study that closely resembled Anand’s pioneering research, using fetuses rather than newborns as his subjects. He selected 45 fetuses that required a potentially painful blood transfusion, giving one-third of them an injection of the potent painkiller fentanyl. As with Anand’s experiments, the results were striking: in fetuses that received the analgesic, the production of stress hormones was halved, and the pattern of blood flow remained normal.
katy on May 31, 2009 at 9:52 PM
Perspective.
If only the outrage for the murder of Tiller would be reciprocated by similar if not more outrage of the murder of millions of unborn children.
Interesting how this murder seems to affect the pro-abortionist more-so than the killing of all the innocent children whose lives have been snuffed for convenience.
On a separate and important note, may God have mercy on Tiller’s soul. I continue to pray for him.
geckomon on May 31, 2009 at 9:52 PM
What a BS analogy. Selling a gun isn’t inherently evil. Guns are tools that can be used for good. Abortion isn’t a tool, it is an act, and usually an evil one.
The real analogy is that the woman places the hit and the abortionist is the hitman (which makes him the murderer). Don’t try to absolve him of his heinous crimes. Nobody forced him to abort babies, he chose to do it so he can profit off the murder of the innocents. You can condemn the murder without whitewashing the mass murderer that died.
Darth Executor on May 31, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I’m not sure if I’m pro-life with exceptions or pro-choice with restrictions, but:
.
Some near term, unborn children capable of surviving will now not be killed simply for convenience. It is hard to understand how that is irrelevant. At some point a fetus has a right to life. If someone repeatedly kills them after that point, for profit no less, what is a moral person supposed to do, just accept it? Abortion is a very tough question, but only for serious moral people who take action, the rest of us can just ignore the parts that make our stance immoral, author a post or comment and have lunch.
.
The fact that people on both sides don’t take action does not mean they really don’t believe what they claim. Even many people walking into gas chambers new what was up and did not fight to save themselves or others. Few of us have the courage to sacrifice anything for our beliefs, especially if we don’t have to, or if it will change little. We are small creatures with large opinions.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on May 31, 2009 at 9:53 PM
I don’t buy the “moral equivalence.”
Let’s agree that the murderer was wrong… let’s agree that he should be punished to the full extent of the law… but Tiller butchered babies… for money… he was a foul, murderous, child butcher… I say that’s worse.
What Eichmann and Mengele did was “legal” too.
mankai on May 31, 2009 at 9:53 PM
Mr. Roeder’s comments indeed show him to be an anti-abortion activist who believes he is judge and jury.
It’s shameful indeed.
AprilOrit on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Actually I believe the correct term is assassination as defined: “Assassination is the targeted killing of a public figure. Assassinations may be prompted by ideological, political, or military reasons.”
And I agree. His family and loved ones should be in our thoughts and prayers but for those praying for mercy for his soul…well, that’s kind of moot at this point as his fate was determined one way or another before he died based on one thing alone: whether or not he accepted God’s saving grace before he took his last breath.
powerpro on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Man the MSM is going to beat us over the head with this non-stop, 24/7, eight days a week. What an pathetic act. Stupid and pathetic and has severely damaged the pro-life cause.
ronsfi on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
One thing I’ll say for sure – I’ll be watching O’Reilly’s Factor Show and if reporting on this man’s murder and “Right WIng Wacko” get spoken in the same breath, he’s off my radar forever. That’s the problem when you like to play Mr. Moderate and use his favorite “Wacko” adjective inappropriately for sites like this and people like Ann Coulter.
Marcus on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
Just so everyone knows, while the killing of little babies is a heinous act, and most certainly a sin, the real sin of Tiller or any of us is rejection of Jesus, and that’s the sin that will bear when justice is brought to his soul.
therightscoop on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
I have never understood the justification of this procedure since it is the woman must go through the entire delivery process. The only difference is that there is not child when it’s over. So what health benefit for the woman is there? Mental health? Free from the stress of a child? I am not being snarky, I truly don’t understand.
Cindy Munford on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
I do not agree with anyone who would consider this murder justifiable. It was a crime and apparently an act of political terror. Nor can I agree with anyone delighting in the victim’s punishment after death, for such punishments are not ours to deliver.
Loxodonta on May 31, 2009 at 9:54 PM
You can’t be pro-life and protest against the “culture of death” while murdering or cheering those who murder.
ddrintn on May 31, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Umm, no. Dr. Tiller had free will and willingly chose to perform these procedures. He could have refused to perform the abortions.
It’s interesting to note that in almost all of Europe these late term abortions are outlawed.
To be clear: the murderer should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. We start taking laws into our own hands and the weakest will suffer the most.
But if you do wish to ignore the laws, you must suffer the consequences.
SteveMG on May 31, 2009 at 9:55 PM
The left is full of it. Incitement would require urging physical violence against Tiller. BOR never ever urged any violence or harm against Tillers. I love how the tards on the left always make up their own definitions.
Blake on May 31, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Sure it’s moronic, which is why it will work as the exact pretense by the Obrownshirts at the FCC to scale back free speech at talk radio. They’ll say speech is a bit too free if it means killing law-abiding doctors. And morons will cheer.
Western_Civ on May 31, 2009 at 9:55 PM
Whatever dries the tears, darlin’. Doesn’t change what you are…
ladyingray on May 31, 2009 at 9:56 PM
This is a tough one, frankly. I don’t know how men like Tiller elect – in a free country – to make late term abortion their life’s work. And then go to church? Paging Dr. Freud…
That said, the MSM is gonna have a field day. He will be Gandhi and MLK before this is done.
Not only was the act reprehensible, it sets our cause back.
johnboy on May 31, 2009 at 9:56 PM
The second worst part of this terrible tragedy – other than the death – is listening to a Keith Olbermann lecture us on the need to stop demonizing others.
Right, Olbermann telling others not to use over-the-top language about one’s opponents.

Agreed – but how many abortion doctors are there in America? I’m thinking not that many. In Mississippi – there is ONE … count them ONE abortion clinic in the whole state. I found four in Louisiana and they all appear to be in poor areas of the state. So I don’t think abortionist make as much $$ as their nip and tuck brothers do.
How much does an abortionist make? He has to hire security – has to pay his staff extra to deal with the potential hazards – has to install security systems, etc.
So actions like this are bound to have a negative effect on those doctors thinking of getting into the abortion field.
I’m told the security of the abortion clinic in Mississippi rivals anything found on a Marine fire base in Iraq.

Murder is not how the pro-life case should be forwarded. All this does is give the left-kooks verbal ammunition and add to the death rolls.

it won’t work in a civil society.

Oh yes, our “civil” society.
That allows infants who are fully viable outside the womb and whom thousands of parents would like to adopt, to be legally “terminated”.
So civil.
Maybe the perp just got confused over the current meaning of the word “civil”. Perhaps it was just a misunderstanding.

No, that was not was what was understood until recently. There has been a difference in opinions for decades.

ALL Pro-Lifers are murderers… and ALL Muslims are terrorists… let’s see them try and go there.
I found it ironic the Simpsons episode aired tonight mocked America for supposedly concluding that the views of some Muslims represented ALL Muslims… even as the Left prepares the act of one man and cast aspersions on ALL Pro-Lifers.

It’s not that simple. America itself wouldn’t have been founded if the founders had followed that logic, and they weren’t even fighting against mass murderers, they were fighting against a few cents on the dollar in taxes.
I don’t think this particular murder was a good idea (I’m not even sure it wasn’t a leftard pretending to be anti-abortion yet), but I can’t say I don’t think vigilantism and rebellion has its place on an absolute scale and remain honest.
